Work Detail
High heat load equipment for fusion reactors is repeatedly exposed to high energy particles, high heat loads, and electromagnetic force, so they require high heat removal capacity and durability against electromagnetic force. Therefore, tungsten is used for the surface exposed to plasma, and it consists of a plasma facing unit metallurgically joined to a water-cooled heat removal structure and a supporting structure. From the perspective of improving the performance of high heat load equipment for fusion reactors, this recruitment theme focuses on improving the surface material, improving the heat removal performance and durability of the cooling structure, improving the manufacturability and inspectionability of the support structure, and using different materials. Conducting research and development on improving the quality of joints 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.
