Plasma exposure of a pre-damaged ITER-like plasma facing unit in the WEST tokamak: in-situ and post-mortem measurements

Plasma exposure of a pre-damaged ITER-like plasma facing unit in the WEST tokamak: in-situ and post-mortem measurements

The consequences of tungsten (W) cracking on divertor lifetime and plasma operation are high priority issues for ITER. One actively cooled ITER-like plasma facing unit (PFU) has been pre-damaged in a High Heat Flux (HHF) facility before its installation in WEST in order to assess the damage evolutio...
