|
|---|---|
| The purpose of the first wall in a nuclear fusion facility is to protect the underlying structural material against the severe irradiation conditions that will take place. In particular, in the case of laser fusion with direct targets (e.g., HiPER project), intense pulses of ions will arrive at the first wall after every explosion. Tungsten is the material of choice due to its good refractory properties, low sputtering and low tritium retention. However, even if a W first wall is designed to accommodate the ion pulses, the accumulation of light species and the formation of pressurized bubbles lead to fatal failure due to W exfoliation with mass loss. | |
