N2 - This Annual Report summarises the fusion research
activities of the Finnish and Estonian Research Units of
the Association Euratom-Tekes in 2013. The emphasis of
the work coordinated by EFDA was in ITER Physics, PPPT
and the ITM Task Force. Other EFDA activities in 2013
were carried out within Goal Oriented Training and EFDA
Fellowship. 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 (AU), University of Helsinki (UH) and
University of Tartu (UT). The main activities are plasma
experiments in collaboration with tokamak laboratories,
modelling and 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) Development of simulation
codes and their integration into the ITM environment.
The Association participated in the EFDA JET
Workprogramme 2013, including C31 experiments with the
ITER-like wall, edge and core modelling, 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 2013
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 and Tampere
University of Technology (TUT) 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 for ITER by
micromechanical magnetometers, 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, the 40th
EPS Plasma Physics Conference, organized by AU, gathered
over 600 participants in Espoo.
