Abstract

A critical issue facing the design and operation of next-step high-power steady-state fusion devices is the control of heat fluxes and erosion at the plasma-facing components, in particular, the divertor target plates. A new initiative has been launched on DIII-D to develop and demonstrate innovative boundary plasma-materials interface solutions. The central purposes of this new initiative are to advance scientific understanding in this critical area and develop an advanced divertor concept for application to next-step fusion devices. DIII-D will leverage strong collaborative efforts on the EAST superconducting tokamak for extending integrated high performance advanced divertor solutions to true steady-state.
