N2 - This Annual Report summarises the fusion research
activities of the Finnish and Estonian Research Units of
the Association Euratom-Tekes in 2012. The emphasis of
the work coordinated by EFDA was in ITER Physics, PPPT
and the ITM Task Force. Other EFDA activities in 2012
were carried within EU Topical Groups, Emerging
Technology and in Goal Oriented Training. In addition, a
significant fraction of Tekes activities was directed to
F4E grants and ITER contracts.
Fusion physics work is carried out at VTT, Aalto
University, University of Helsinki and University of
Tartu. The main activities are plasma experiments in
collaboration with tokamak laboratories, modelling with
related code development, and diagnostics related to the
main European fusion facilities JET and AUG. In
particular, Association Euratom-Tekes focused on (i) Heat
and particle transport and fast particle studies, (ii)
Plasma-wall interactions and material transport in the
scrape-off layer, and (iii) Code development and
diagnostics.
The Association participated in the EFDA JET
Workprogramme 2012, including C29-30 experiments with the
ITER-like wall, diagnostics development and code
integration. Three physicists were seconded to the JET
operating team and one to EFDA CSU. The Association
participated also in the 2012 experimental programme of
ASDEX Upgrade at IPP and the analysis of DIII-D and C-Mod
data.
Technology work is carried out at VTT, AU, Tampere
University of Technology (TUT) and Lappeenranta
University of Technology (LUT) in close collaboration
with Finnish industry. Industrial participation is
co-ordinated by Tekes. The technology research and
development includes the DTP2 facility at VTT Tampere,
materials and joining techniques, vessel/in-vessel
components, magnetic diagnostics by micromechanical
magnetometers for ITER, upgrading of the JET NPA
diagnostics, Power Plant Physics and Technology (PPPT)
activities, plasma facing materials issues,
erosion/re-deposition and material transport studies and
development of coating techniques.
Association Euratom-Tekes is involved in Goal-Oriented
Training in Remote Handling project, coordinated by
Tampere University of Technology. In July 2013 Aalto
University will organize the 40th EPS Plasma Physics
Conference in Espoo.
