Tritium inventory build-up is a safety and economic issue for next step fusion devices and power plants. JET with a beryllium wall and tungsten divertor brings a unique contribution on fuel retention and recovery in a metallic device, as it has operated with deuterium, tritium and deuterium–tritium (DT) plasmas. [...]

The feasibility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for measuring fuel retention was demonstrated for the first time in a tokamak operating with tritiumusing a remotely controlled in-situ application in JET. In JET as well as in future fusion reactors such as ITER and DEMO, thick co-deposited layers will be formed onthe inner wall during extended plasma operations. [...]

We evaluated electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of spinel coatings for solid oxide cell (SOC) interconnects with a focus on stack integration. Two compositions, MnCo1.9Fe0.1O4 (MCF) and CuMn1.8Ni0.2O4 (CMN), were deposited from water/ethanol suspensions and subjected to three thermal routes: direct oxidation and two-step treatments with reduction in Ar/H2 at 900 or 1000 °C followed by oxidation.
