The consequences of the Hydrogen isotopes interaction with fusion reactor materials have become one of the most important issues in Fusion research. The major point is related to the tritium inventory, that is the long-term retention of Hydrogen isotopes in plasma facing materials. The ultimate goal is obtain a proper assessment of the inventory and the development of methods for efficient removal of tritium retained in the reactor walls.
This workshop is organized as a Satellite conference of the 19th International Plasma Surface Interactions Conference to be held in Toledo (Spain) from 26 to 30 may 2008. The workshop follows a large series of similar conferences that in the last years were:
2000: Stockholm (Sweden).
2002: Tokio (Japan).
2004: Portland, Maine (USA).
2006: Mt. Huangshan, Anhui (P.R.China).
Hydrogen isotopes issues in ITER.
Hydrogen isotopes recycling, migration, retention and release in materials.
Effects of hydrogen, helium and plasma impurities on plasma facing materials behavior.
Experimental techniques and methods.
Theoretical simulations.
