Thermal fatigue and thermal shock of carbon based divertor components under ITER relevant loading conditions

  • 1. Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH (Germany)

Description

Plasma facing materials and components in future thermonuclear confinement experiments will be subjected to severe thermal loads. Thermal fatigue damage of materials and components originates in the tokamak specific, pulsed plasma operation. In addition thermal shock damage will be initiated by plasma disruptions or vertical displacement events (VDE). Due to the 14 MeV neutrons generated in the fusion process the material properties will degrade during irradiation. (author)
