The feasibility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for measuring fuel retention was demonstrated for the first time in a tokamak operating with tritium using a remotely controlled in situ application in JET. In JET and future fusion reactors such as ITER and DEMO, thick co-deposited layers will be formed at the inner wall during exte…
Understanding of fuel retention and release processes from plasma facing components (PFCs) of ITER like wall materials is important from fundamental and technological aspects [1]. Detailed information about fuel retention and release characteristics in plasma facing components from JET will allow…
