The development of improved designs for components which will be subject to high heat fluxes has been identified as a critical challenge for the realisation of commercial fusion power. This paper presents details of a facility which allows early verification of thermofluid and thermomechananical performance of prototype components and enables compa…

Nuclear fusion is the process that heats the stars by the collision of atomic nuclei which fuse together to form heavier elements and release energy. The generation of energy using this process has several advantages: no carbon emissions, abundant fuel supplies, efficiency, reliability and operationally safe. One way to achieve the necessary con…

The next D-T campaign will push JET ITER-like Wall (IWL) to high divertor power and energy levels. During the 2016 campaign, the Strike Point (SP) sweeping permitted relevant H-mode scenarios without exceeding the temperature limits imposed by JET Operation Instructions (JOIs). In the subsequent shutdown, six outer divertor tungsten-coated 2D carbo…
