Inside a future fusion reactor, some materials will not only be subjected to radiation, but also to enormous heat loads due to their direct contact with the plasma. In view of this, not only must stationary conditions of high density, low temperature and high power be reproduced, but also violent transient events (known as ELMs in plasma physics literature). Therefore, two plasma generation devices are planned: one is a linear plasma device, meant to reproduce the cited stationary conditions, and the other is a QSPA (Quasi-Stationary Plasma Accelerator) to simulate the transients. Both devices will be able to work with H, D, He and Ar. | Inside a future fusion reactor, some materials will not only be subjected to radiation, but also to enormous heat loads due to their direct contact with the plasma.
