NSTX conditioning experiment using injected lithium powder
POSTER
Abstract
An attempt was made to condition the plasma facing components of NSTX by injecting Li powder. The injection was carried out using the existing lithium pellet injector with a modified sabot design. The 50 micron diameter powder was injected into several discharges while its effects were evaluated on each subsequent discharge. A discussion of the effects of this experiment will be presented.
