Analysis of plasma facing materials : material migration and fuel retention

• Key issues in the characterization and analysis of plasma facing materials are presented. The influence of plasma operation on the material modification and fuel inventory is emphasized. The role of analysis in the process of material selection and qualification for usage in controlled fusion devices is also addressed. Various methods for the determination of fuel species in wall components are reviewed. The underlying physics of methods, practical aspects of analysis procedures and special instrumentation for studies of plasma facing components are described.
