abstract = {Hot atoms with chaotically directed velocities are
generated by charge-exchange with plasma ions of neutrals
recycling from the vessel wall of a fusion reactor. Some of
them flee into openings in the vessel made for ducts guiding
to diagnostic installations; in particular, to first mirrors
for optical observations. On the one hand, hot atoms,
hitting the mirror directly, can erode its surface. On the
other hand, impurity species, released from the walls of the
vessel and of the diagnostic duct, migrate to the mirror and
can be deposited there. Both the erosion of and impurity
deposition on the mirror decline its reflection
properties.Models elaborated to describe processes above are
outlined, including a 2D kinetic description for neutral
species in the vicinity of the duct opening, an assessment
for the erosion of the duct walls and mirror surface by hot
atoms, estimates for influxes of the wall material into the
duct and a consideration of the migration of impurity atoms
along the duct. Calculations are done for the conditions
predicted for a fusion reactor like DEMO. The rates for
erosion of and impurity deposition on first mirrors of Mo
are assessed versus input parameters such as the duct
radius, the distance from the opening to the mirror, the
density n g of the working gas in the duct, the
probabilities for impurity sticking to the duct wall and
mirror surface. It is demonstrated that, by n g exceeding a
level of m−3, the mirror sputtering can be reduced to the
target level of 1 nm per full power year. Moreover, for
long enough ducts the erosion rate of impurities deposited
onto the mirror exceeds their deposition one and no
formation of impurity precipitations on the mirror surface
has to be expected.},
