Abstract
Erosion and deposition were studied in the JET divertor
during the first JET ITER-like wall campaign 2011 to 2012
using marker tiles. An almost complete poloidal section
consisting of tiles 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 was studied. The
data from divertor tile surfaces were completed by the
analysis of samples from remote divertor areas and from
the inner wall cladding. The total mass of material
deposited in the divertor decreased by a factor of 4-9
compared to the deposition of carbon during all-carbon
JET operation before 2010. Deposits in 2011 to 2012
consist mainly of beryllium with 5-20 at.% of carbon and
oxygen, respectively, and small amounts of Ni, Cr, Fe and
W. This decrease of material deposition in the divertor
is accompanied by a decrease of total deuterium retention
inside the JET vessel by a factor of 10 to 20. The
detailed erosion/deposition pattern in the divertor with
the ITER-like wall configuration shows rigorous changes
compared to the pattern with the all-carbon JET
configuration.
