Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Prepared for the u.s. department of energy, under contract de-ac02-76ch03073 princeton plasma physics laboratory princeton university, princeton, new jersey" ?
Although the field is rapidly evolving and the present review is one of work in progress, some key conclusions relevant to a next-step device are presented below, together with some recommendations for future work.
Q3. What was the main theme of the paper?
It also became clear that the diversity of phenomena at work in plasma-surface interactions had led to compartmentalisation - specialists were active within their areas but the issues often demanded integrated solutions that transcended the boundaries of individual disciplines.
Q4. What are the main topics of interactions in the paper?
Two main topical groups of interactions are considered: (i) erosion/re-deposition from plasma sputtering and disruptions, including dust and flake generation, (ii) tritium retention and removal.
Q5. What is the main theme of the paper?
PREFACEManaging the interface between a burning plasma and the material world has long been regarded as one of the grand challenges of fusion.
Q6. What is the importance of controlling plasma wall interactions in tokamaks?
Controlling plasma wall interactions is critical to achieving high performance in present-day tokamaks and this is likely to continue to be the case in the approach to practical fusion reactors.
Q7. What is the main topic of the paper?
Recognition of the important consequences of these phenomena has stimulated an internationally co-ordinated effort in the field of plasma-surface interactions supporting the Engineering Design Activities of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project (ITER) and significant progress has been made in better understanding these issues.
Q8. What was the important factor in the review?
What the authors naively underestimated was a quantity increasingly scarce in the world today, the time needed to weld the material into a coherent whole.
