Popis: Transport of iron in TFTR discharges is studied by spatially-resolved charge exchange recombination spectroscopy in the visible region of the spectrum. Time evolutions of the densities of Fe{sup 24+} and Fe{sup 23+} ions following injection of iron are modeled by the neoclassical flux plus a moderately hollow diffusivity increasing linearly from 1.3 m{sup 2}/sec on axis to 2.4 m{sup 2}/sec at the plasma edge. For r/a{gt}0.5. the iron diffusivity is significantly smaller than the helium diffusivity measured in identical discharges, while it is larger in the region immediately surrounding the plasma axis. 15 refs., 3 figs.
