7 F. Le Guern Dust&Tritium PWI AM Frascati 27-29 Oct 2008 7 of ? slides DUST AND TRITIUM MANAGEMENT General recommendations for dust (1/2):General recommendations for dust (1/2): It is necessary to define, test and assess method(s) to remove dust during maintenance phases. It is necessary to define, test and assess method(s) to remove dust during maintenance phases. Due to uncertainties (mainly on mitigation of ELMs), it is recommended to develop, test and assess methods to measure erosion in the VV. In this way it will be possible, based on estimates of the relationship between erosion and dust accumulation, to decide whether or not to proceed with dust removal before the foreseen maintenance. Due to uncertainties (mainly on mitigation of ELMs), it is recommended to develop, test and assess methods to measure erosion in the VV. In this way it will be possible, based on estimates of the relationship between erosion and dust accumulation, to decide whether or not to proceed with dust removal before the foreseen maintenance.

Le Guern Dust&Tritium PWI AM Frascati 27-29 Oct 2008 8 of ? slides DUST AND TRITIUM MANAGEMENT General recommendations for dust (2/2):General recommendations for dust (2/2): The group considered that measuring low quantities of dusts spread over large surfaces, at high temperature and in a nuclear fusion environment is very demanding and stressed the need 1) to carry out an exhaustive review of potential low quantity dust measurement techniques,2) to investigate possible cleaning techniques in order to guarantee that the divertor region(PFCs surface) is almost dust free during operation of the machine. The group considered that measuring low quantities of dusts spread over large surfaces, at high temperature and in a nuclear fusion environment is very demanding and stressed the need 1) to carry out an exhaustive review of potential low quantity dust measurement techniques,2) to investigate possible cleaning techniques in order to guarantee that the divertor region(PFCs surface) is almost dust free during operation of the machine. Furthermore, keeping in mind that the development of such a technique is very challenging, it is also recommended to proceed in parallel with the assessment of explosion mitigation methods (inert gas injection) and possible design enhancements to limit air ingress or to improve the sustainability of the VV to the transient peak pressure (mechanical design of the vessel itself) ( covered by F4E).
