High-heat-load equipment for fusion reactors is repeatedly exposed to high-energy particles, high heat loads, and electromagnetic forces, requiring high heat removal capacity and resistance to electromagnetic forces. Therefore, tungsten is used for the surface exposed to plasma, and the equipment consists of a plasma-facing unit metallurgically bonded to a water-cooled heat removal structure, and a supporting structure. This research theme focuses on improving the performance of high-heat-load equipment for fusion reactors through research and development related to surface material modification, improved heat removal performance and durability of cooling structures, improved manufacturability and inspectability of support structures, and improved quality of dissimilar material joining and welding. High heat flux components for fusion reactors are repeatedly exposed to high energy particles, high heat loads, and electromagnetic forces, requiring high heat removal capability and durability against electromagnetic forces. Therefore, the surfaces exposed to plasma are made of tungsten, metallurgically bonded to a water-cooled heat removal structure, which consists of a plasma-facing unit and its supporting structure. In this solicited theme, from the viewpoint of improving the performance of high heat load components for fusion reactors, research and development will be conducted on surface material modification, heat removal performance and durability of the cooling structure, fabrication and inspection of the support structure, and quality improvement of joining and welding between different materials.
