1. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 1 Prediction of ITER T retention levels with W PFCs J. Roth, and the SEWG Fuel retention of the EU Task Force on Plasma-Wall Interaction with special contributions from R. Causey, R. Kolasinski, R. P. Doerner, G. Wright, J. Rapp, V. Alimov, O. Ogorodnokova Overview: -Estimates in support of the ITER Design Review -New input data -Special emphasis on W divertor and W walls -Improved estimates for present choice of wall materials

2. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 2 Inventory estimates for ITER On the basis of the standard scenario for wall fluxes -Present choice of wall materials -Comparison of all-C, all-W and W/Be material choice CFC in divertor dominates tritium retention Be co-deposition needs to be taken into account W not limiting, n-effects must be assessed

3. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 3 Inventory estimates for ITER On the basis of the standard scenario for wall fluxes -Present choice of wall materials -Comparison of all-C, all-W and W/Be material choice All-CFC reaches T limit in about 25 shots All-W eliminates tritium problem, but n- effects need to be considered For W/Be option co-deposition with Be dominates

4. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 4 New input data First indication of saturation of implantation/retention inventory in CFC (R. Pugno et al. JAP, accepted 2008). Here emphasis on W Renewed assessment of D/T fluxes to different wall areas indicate about a factor of 3±2 higher wall fluxes. Previous values from Kukushkin (R. Behrisch et al, JNM 2003) are still within uncertainty (see presentation by A. Kallenbach). W as divertor material is irradiated at very high flux and fluence. Surface modifications (see presentations by R. Doerner, M. Mayer). Retention data are being produced at PILOT (see presentation by Graham Wright). What are the consequences? n-irradiation of W creates potential tritium traps in the bulk of the material and may increase the retention. There are two preliminary attempts of modelling (R. Causey and R. Kolasinski, O. Ogorodnikova)

11. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 11 Inventory estimates for ITER On the basis of the standard scenario for wall fluxes -Present choice of wall materials Reduction of retention in W by a factor of 2 compared to earlier assessment Co-deposition negligible, even including impurity sputtering W walls not limiting, n-effects must be assessed

12. J. Roth: ITPA SOL/DIV, Avila, Jan. 2008 12 Conclusions Tritium Inventory Present choice of materials (CFC/W/Be): Co-deposition with carbon will dominate (0.5-2 g per shot). Co-deposition with Be adds to the total inventory (0.1-0.6 g per shot) Implantation of T in W adds a small contribution and is not limiting Comparison of proposed material options: W divertor/Be wall: 350 g T reached after >2500 discharges Co-deposition with Be dominates W area with highest inventory are medium-flux divertor plates all-W machine:350 g T reached after >10000 discharges n-irradiation will increase retention Important Issues: Is the plasma compatible to W as divertor material? Where is Be deposited? How can T be removed from co-deposited Be layers?
