The analysis of the electromagnetic loads on selected ITER blanket shield modules due to induced eddy and halo currents

The prediction of electromagnetic loads on the ITER blanket modules during a plasma disruption is considered for two different blanket modules and different disruption events. The key features of the analysis procedure will be presented including the modeling of the plasma current, halo current, and the geometric description of the first wall, shield modules, and vacuum vessel. The electromagnetic calculations are performed using the Opera-3d software. The loads due to the eddy currents and halo currents are calculated separately using different technique. Once these loads have been calculated they can also be exported for additional post-processing to assess the mechanical loading effects.
