Аннотация:We present a short review of experimental research carried out at the NRC Kurchatov Institute over recent years on the behavior of plasma-facing materials (PFMs) when a high level of radiation damage in plasma. Neutron-induced damage was modeled with accelerated ions (in the MeV range) and covered a 1–80 dpa interval. Irradiated carbon materials and tungsten were exposed to deuterium steady-state plasma at deuterium ion energies of 100–250 eV. The work focused on the damaging effect on erosion and on deuterium retention in irradiated materials. The influence of displacement damage was found on the erosion of carbon materials after their bombardment with C+ ions. Changes in deuterium retention were observed on tungsten damaged by 3–4 MeV helium ions. The experiments and results show the efficiency of the method for investigating plasma influence on PFMs for fusion applications taking into account the effect of accumulated radiation damage.
