Description

  • Content Description: The need to reduce high Z impurities in the plasma of fusion reactors has led to various ideas, including a low-Z liner, for isolating the first structural wall from the plasma. Graphite and other carbon containing materials (most notably SiC) are strong candidate materials for such liners. However, to assess the potential of these materials will require more information on the following properties: (1) Radiation effects under fusion reactor environment, (2) Sputtering, (3) Degassing. This document describes the current state of knowledge on carbons and graphites in each of these areas.
