Abstract
Post mortem analyses of JET ITER-Like-Wall tiles and
passive diagnostics have been completed after each of the
first two campaigns (ILW-1 and ILW-2). They show that the
global fuel inventory is still dominated by
co-deposition; hence plasma parameters and sputtering
processes affecting material migration influence the
distribution of retained fuel. In particular, differences
between results from the two campaigns may be attributed
to a greater proportion of pulses run with strike points
in the divertor corners, and having about 300 discharges
in hydrogen at the end of ILW-2. Recessed and remote
areas can contribute to fuel retention due to the larger
areas involved, e.g. recessed main chamber walls, gaps in
castellated Be main chamber tiles and material migration
to remote divertor areas. The fuel retention and material
migration due to the bulk W Tile 5 during ILW-1 are
presented. Overall these tiles account for only a small
percentage of the global accountancy for ILW-1.
