The charged particle heat load assessed for the DEMO Single Module Segment First Wall (FW) during current off-normal plasma scenarios underlines that protection is needed for avoiding/reducing damage to the Breeding Blanket FW due to the deposition of a huge amount of energy in a small timescale.
Within the “Key Design Integration Issue 1”, an…
Within the framework of EUROfusion DEMO First Wall and limiter design activities, the protection of the First Wall against power deposition peaks is being considered. During steady-state operation, the radiative power from the plasma could be considered uniformly spread on plasma-facing components. However, the presence of openings (i.e. g…
