abstract = {ITER will operate with a tungsten divertor, a material
featuring surface morphology changes when exposed to helium
plasmas, in particular the formation of the so called
tungsten fuzz under specific conditions. Investigating
interactions between tungsten plasma facing components and
helium plasmas in a tokamak environment is therefore a key
point to consolidate predictions for the ITER divertor
performance and lifetime. To this end, a dedicated helium
campaign was performed in the full tungsten WEST tokamak,
cumulating ∼2000 s of repetitive L mode discharges. It is
shown that conditions for tungsten fuzz formation, as
derived from linear devices experiments (incident helium
energy Einc > 20 eV, helium fluence >1024 He/m2, surface
temperature Tsurf > 700 °C), were met in the outer strike
point (OSP) area of the inertially cooled tungsten divertor
elements of WEST. Preliminary inspection of the components
after the campaign did not show visible signs of surface
modification, but points to significant net erosion in the
OSP area. An extensive post mortem analysis is now ongoing
to confirm these first indications. These results underline
that the complex balance between erosion/redeposition (in
particular linked to impurities) and tungsten fuzz formation
needs to be taken into account in tokamak conditions.},
