摘要
The plasma material interaction and high heat flux properties of beryllium are reviewed to determine its suitability as a plasma-facing component in magnetic fusion energy reactors. Consideration is given to beryllium's outgassing, erosion, and hydrogen retention characteristics. Its responses to normal and off-normal high heat fluxes are compared to graphite in both the as-received and the neutron-irradiated states. Beryllium's performance in present-day devices is assessed, and its expected behavior in future reactors is summarized. It is concluded that beryllium is potentially a better plasma-facing material than graphite and that more development and testing is warranted. © 1990, American Vacuum Society. All rights reserved.
