Quantitatively measuring the influence of helium in plasma-exposed tungsten

Tungsten samples are exposed to 3He plasma to quantify their helium retention behavior. The retention saturates quickly with helium fluence and increases only slightly from 4.3×1019He/m2 at 773K, to 7.5×1019He/m2 at 973K. The helium content increases dramatically to 6.8×1020He/m2 when fuzz is formed...
