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 …

In this paper, we present a brief historic overview of the research on dust in fusion devices
with carbon plasma-facing components and then highlight the most recent developments in …

A new experimental setup has been developed for edge localized mode (ELM) simulation
experiments with relevant steady-state plasma conditions and transient heat/particle source …

Heat loads on the tungsten divertor targets in the ITER and the tokamak power reactors
reach~ 10MW m− 2 in the steady state of DT discharges, increasing to~ 0.6–3.5 GW m− 2 …

Cracking thresholds and crack patterns in tungsten targets after repetitive ITER-like edge
localized mode (ELM) pulses have been studied in recent simulation experiments by laser …

The FOM-Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen is constructing Magnum-PSI; a magnetized
(3T), steady-state, large area (80cm2) high-flux (up to 1024 H+ ions m− 2s− 1) plasma …

Cracking thresholds and crack patterns (major-and micro-) as well as residual stresses in
tungsten targets after repetitive ITER ELM-like plasma pulses have been studied in recent …

A millisecond pulsed repetitive plasma generator based on capillary discharge is utilized to
produce ELM-like heat load. Based on this device, the evolution of tungsten degradation …

The motion and temperature evolution of beryllium droplets produced by first wall surface
melting after ITER major disruptions and vertical displacement events mitigated during the …

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