In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

Progress in the definition of the requirements for edge localized mode (ELM) control and the
application of ELM control methods both for high fusion performance DT operation and non …

This paper reviews the recent activities and results in development and evaluation of new
high-Z materials focusing on tungsten and its alloys. VPS-W coating on graphite and CFC …

Progress, since the ITER Physics Basis publication (ITER Physics Basis Editors et al 1999
Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–2664), in understanding the processes that will determine the …

The WxTaTiVCr high-entropy alloy with 32at.% of tungsten (W) and its derivative alloys with
42 to 90at.% of W with in-situ TiC were prepared via the mixing of elemental W, Ta, Ti, V and …

Understanding the interaction between atomic hydrogen and solid tungsten is important for
the development of fusion reactors in which proposed tungsten walls would be bombarded …

METIS is a numerical code aiming at fast full tokamak plasma analyses and predictions. It
combines 0D scaling-law normalised heat and particle transport with 1D current diffusion …

Component development for operation in a large-scale fusion device requires thorough
testing and qualification for the intended operational conditions. In particular environments …

Screening of high-Z (W) impurities from the confined plasma by the temperature gradient at
the plasma periphery of fusion-grade H-mode plasmas has been demonstrated in the JET …

The observation in JET of co-deposition of tritium with carbon has led to a broad discussion
on the replacement of graphite by a high-Z material for the first wall coverage. Moreover, due …
