An important contribution to the mechanical stresses present in the ITER ICH antenna is related to the non-uniform heating of its front section due to RF losses, plasma and charge exchange, and the effects of neutron radiation. As a consequence, intensive convective cooling is necessary to maintain temperature and the related thermally induced s…

The preferred design of the ITER divertor target component is the monoblock, comprising a tungsten armour block through which passes a CuCrZr cooling pipe which is joined to the tungsten via a copper interlayer. This construction currently looks to be one of the favoured designs for DEMO. Ideally this structure can be assessed for structural integr…

Guidelines are presented for the recommended method of assessing by analysis the structural integrity of divertor plasma facing components (PFCs) under high heat flux (HHF) loads. The objective is to enable analysis to provide greater supporting evidence for PFC qualification (which for ITER is currently achieved by test alone) and to provide reaso…
