Abstract
An analysis of the divertor designs for the Infinity Two fusion pilot plant (FPP) baseline plasma design is presented. The divertor uses an m = 5, n = 4 magnetic island chain, where m is the poloidal number and n is the toroidal number. Two divertor designs are presented. A classical divertor that is similar to the Wendelstein 7-X island divertor is analyzed using diffusive field-line following and the fluid code EMC3-Lite. For a baseline 800 MW operating point in Infinity Two, the conditions where the heat flux on the divertor plate remains in the acceptable region are analyzed. In addition a related, but different and novel large island backside divertor (LIBD) design is shown. The LIBD promises improved neutral pumping by closing the divertor through the use of baffling and with a structure inside the island, thus preventing neutralized plasma particles from reente ring the plasma.
