ITER will use beryllium as a plasma-facing material in the main chamber, covering a total
surface area of about 620 m 2. Given the importance of beryllium erosion and co-deposition …

Commercial fusion energy will require an energy-producing fusion plasma core (the “fire”)
surrounded by an integrated engineering system (the “fireplace”). This article focuses on the …

To mitigate the impact of technical delays, provide a more rationalized approach to the
safety demonstration and move forward as rapidly as possible to a reactor relevant materials …

The European nuclear fusion research community has elaborated a Roadmap to the
realisation of fusion energy in which 'ITER is the key facility and its success is the most …

Abstract After the second Deuterium–Tritium Campaign (DTE2) in the JET tokamak with the
ITER-Like Wall (ILW) and full tritium campaigns that preceded and followed after the DTE2, a …

In this tutorial article, we review the technological, physics, and economic basis for a
magnetic fusion device utilizing a flowing liquid lithium divertor (molten metal velocity in the …

Wall conditioning is essential in tokamak and stellarator research to achieve plasma
