Infrared detection of tungsten cracking on actively cooled ITER-like component during high power experiment in WEST

The consequences of tungsten (W) damaging processes, such as cracking and melting, on divertor lifetime and plasma operation are high priority issues for ITER. A sustained melting experiment was conducted in WEST using a 2 mm deep groove geometry on the upstream mono-block (MB) to overexpose the sha...
