INTRODUCTION Future generation tokamaks, including ITER, will strive for better confinement, which means a higher fusion plasma current to achieve a good Fusion Efficiency Factor value greater than 10 [1]. One of the major threats with this scenario is a potential for increased damage of first wall components due to unmitig…

Data on erosion and melting of beryllium upper limiter tiles, so-called dump plates (DP), are presented for all three campaigns in the JET tokamak with the ITER-like wall. High-resolution images of the upper wall of JET show clear signs of flash melting on the ridge of the roof-shaped tiles. The melt layers move in the poloidal direction from the i…

JET components are removed periodically for surface analysis to assess material migration and fuel retention. This paper describes issues related to handling JET components and procedures for preparing samples for analysis; in particular a newly developed procedure for cutting beryllium tiles is presented. Consideration is also given to the hazards…
