The start-up and observation of the Li target in the EVEDA Li test loop
Abstract
The EVEDA Li test loop (ELTL) is a major Japanese activity for the validation of the Li target facility for the IFMIF. The first operational results of the Li target in the ELTL are obtained. The start-up procedure of the Li target was examined and consequently achieved. The Li target whose velocity was 20m/s in pressurized and vacuum conditions was observed by image devices and confirmed to be stable.
