DEVELOPMENT OF BORONIZATION METHODOLOGY FOR THE KTM TOKAMAK

In this paper, a literature review on the application and features of boronization in tokamak-type devices is presented, and a methodology for preparing the vacuum chamber of the KTM tokamak for plasma experiments using a carboranebased boronization system is substantiated. The technical implementation of the process under glow discharge conditions is described, including the design of the vapor delivery system with a heated receiver and the transport line on the KTM tokamak. A project of the diagnostic complex under development for real-time monitoring of the environment purity, combining mass spectrometry and optical monitoring of the boron emission line, is presented.
