Abstract

Conventional divertor technologies may be insufficient for a fusion reactor environment. The Super-X Divertor (SXD) is an advanced concept that employs extreme manipulation of the diverted magnetic field in an effort to moderate the plasma conditions at the target. The layout for the SXD incorporated into the proposed upgrade to MAST is presented, along with preliminary results from boundary plasma transport modelling with the SOLPS 2D fluid code.
