Beryllium and Deuterium: Comparison MKII-A and GB (shadowed areas on tiles 3 and 4 are not included) MKII-GB MKII-A 1 3 4 6 7 8 D Be Major differences: D/Be ratio < 1 on MKII-A D/Be ratio > 1 on MKII-GB Possible reason: Cleaning after DTE-1 to reduce T level. Significant co-deposition (and fuel inventory) in the shadowed corner of the outer divertor (tile 6). Shadowing due to geometrical factor (as in MKI divertor)

Deposition on the septum tiles Summary Deposition on the plates is mainly seen in the near-plasma region from the inner divertor side (up to 25 mm from the edge). Thick deposits (> 50 mm ?) only on a side of one plate (C-end). Little deposition deep inside the Gas Box (thin deposit, d < 10 mm). Little deposition on the divider plate (thin deposit, d < 10 mm) . Small content of beryllium in the Gas Box. No C-13 (above the background level) found on the plates. Gas Box plates can not be considered as the major trap for transported and re-deposited material. The results also indicate that the direct across-divertor transport is negligible (if any).
