Challenges for plasma-facing components in nuclear fusion [PDF]
Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2019 The interaction processes between the burning plasma and the first wall in a fusion reactor are diverse: the first wall will be exposed to extreme thermal loads of up to several tens of megawatts per square meter during ...

A new vision of plasma facing components
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2016 Abstract This paper advances a vision for plasma facing components (PFCs) that includes the following points. The solution for plasma facing materials likely consists of engineered structures in which the layer of plasma facing material (PFM) is integrated with an engineered structure that cools the PFM and may also transition with graded composition.

Observations on arcing on the metal plasma-facing components in EAST
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023 Arcing on the plasma-facing components (PFCs) is one of the mechanisms of material erosion and impurity production in the magnetic-confinement fusion devices. EAST tokamak has been upgraded to almost full metal PFCs.
