Abstract
The work presented draws on new analysis of components
removed following the second JET ITER-like wall campaign
2013-14 concentrating on the upper inner divertor, inner
and outer divertor corners, lifetime issues relating to
tungsten coatings on JET carbon fibre composite divertor
tiles and dust/particulate generation. The results show
that the upper inner divertor remains the region of
highest deposition in the JET-ILW. Variations in plasma
configurations between the first and second campaign have
altered material migration to the corners of the inner
and outer divertor. Net deposition is shown to be
beneficial in the sense that it reduces W coating
erosion, covers small areas of exposed carbon surfaces
and even encapsulates particles.
