Thermomechanical Analysis of a PFC Integrating W Lattice Armour in Response to Different Plasma Scenarios Predicted in the EU-DEMO Tokamak

Thermomechanical Analysis of a PFC Integrating W Lattice Armour in Response to Different Plasma Scenarios Predicted in the EU-DEMO Tokamak

Despite the high performance exhibited by tungsten (W), no material would be able to withstand the huge loads expected with extreme plasma transients in EU-DEMO and future reactors, where the installation of sacrificial first wall limiters is essential to prevent excessive wall degradation. The inte...
