Strategic Objectives
• Understand the atomic-scale physics governing plasma-material interactions.
• Discover the cutting-edge materials designed to survive extreme thermal loads.
• Learn strategies for mitigating tritium retention and radioactive inventory.
• Explore the mechanisms of wall erosion and redeposition in long-pulse devices.
The Core Challenge
In the quest for nuclear fusion, the interface between million-degree plasma and solid matter remains the ultimate engineering bottleneck, where erosion and fuel loss threaten the very viability of the reactor.
