Abstract

This report describes the collection and characterization of airborne particles from a number of fusion-related processes including cutting of stainless steel, vaporization of targets in two inertial confinement fusion devices, debris from the walls of a magnetic confinement device, plasma spraying for applying metal coatings, and burning of lithium metal. Such information on particle formation is needed to plan adequate respiratory protection for workers, predict the life expectancy and performance of reactor components, and develop effective cleanup and maintenance procedures.
