This paper reviews recent results of the study of dust in magnetic fusion devices.
Assessment of the role of dust in current fusion devices and ITER is presented. Dust …

It has been known for a long time that microscopic dust appears in plasmas in fusion
devices. Recently it was shown that dust can be responsible for the termination of long …

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

A present topic of high interest in magnetic fusion is the “gap” between near-term and long-
term concepts for high heat flux components (HHFC), and in particular for divertors. This …

A baseline strategy for dust and tritium-inventory control and recovery in ITER has been
established and preparations are underway for its implementation. Limits on dust and tritium …

Studies of naturally occurring and artificially introduced carbon dust are conducted in DIII-D
and TEXTOR. In DIII-D, dust does not present operational concerns except immediately after …

Dust production and accumulation present potential safety and operational issues for the
ITER. Dust diagnostics can be divided into two groups: diagnostics of dust on surfaces and …

The dynamical behavior of dust produced in tokamaks is an important issue for fusion. In this
work, the current status of the dust in tokamaks (DTOKS)[JD Martin et al, Europhys Lett. 83 …

In this contribution, we report on experiments performed in MAST to investigate dust
creation, transport and influence on plasma performance. The exceptional diagnostic access …

The use of electrostatic probes as a diagnostic tool of the dust particles in the tokamak edge
plasmas is investigated. Probe measurements of electrostatic fluctuations in the scrape-off …
