Rationale behind EU-DEMO limiter's plasma-facing component design under material phase change

The protection strategy adopted for the European DEMOnstration (EU-DEMO) fusion power reactor foresees the use of sacrificial components-referred to as limiters-dealing with plasma-wall contacts. Their aim is to protect the first wall (FW) against the huge amount of plasma energy (up to GigaJoules)...
