Retention of Fusion Plasma Species in PFC Candidate Fine-Grain Dispersion-Strengthened Tungsten Materials

January 17, 2023

This project is a collaboration between Energy Driven Technologies and Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. This work will expose PFM candidate fine-grain dispersion-strengthened tungsten to high fluence, low energy deuterium, and helium plasmas to evaluate retention behavior and resilience of the microstructure and surface morphology compared to ITER-grade tungsten.
