In-vessel plasma facing components in fusion reactors such as ITER and DEMO experience high thermal loads and require active cooling, for which water is one possible coolant. The solution where plasma facing components utilise tungsten blocks as sacrificial armour has a joint internal structure of cooling tubes made from the copper base (~99% Cu…

The European DEMO design will potentially use single phase water cooling in various components that require protection against corrosion damage. Coolant conditions will be similar to fission PWRs but with additional considerations arising from the materials of choice (Eurofer, CuCrZr), 14 MeV neutron irradiation, the presence of tritium, and strong…
