Description

The basic processes involved in hydrogenic fuelling and helium ash recycling in magnetic fusion devices are presented. Discussion centres on the tokamak device and the recycling behaviour of hydrogen isotopes and helium from graphite limiters and stainless steel or inconel walls. The relevant processes reviewed include backscattering, trapping/re-emission and atomic/molecular plasma reactions. (author)
