The SCR-1 is a small modular stellarator designed, constructed and is being implemented at Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. The project is its final phase of commissioning and it is expected to be operational in June 2015. This article aims at summarizing the SCR-1 project from the engineering and manufacturing point of view, particularly highlighting the construction of the toroidal vacuum vessel...
This paper aims at briefly describing the design and construction issues of the Stellarator of Costa Rica 1 (SCR-1). The SCR-1 is a small modular Stellarator for magnetic confinement of plasma developed by the Plasma Laboratory for Fusion Energy and Applications of the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR). SCR-1 will be a 2-field period small modular stellarator with an aspect ratio 4; low shear...
Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) is one of the most common methods used for heating stellarator plasmas, providing both ionization for startup and net-current free heating during the discharge. This paper presents the design of the ECH heating system for the Stellarator of Costa Rica (SCR-1), a small modular stellarator under construction at the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR). The SCR-1...
