Abstract

New experimental approach is developed to explore plasma facing materials accounting for neutron induced radiation damage on erosion of these materials in plasma. The radiation damage has been produced in carbon materials by 5 MeV 12C + ions accelerated on cyclotron of Kurchatov Institute. A high level of radiation damage (1–10 dpa) has been obtained on these materials. The erosion of irradiated materials including CFC under plasma impact was studied on the LENTA linear plasma simulator. Surface modification was analyzed and the erosion rate was evaluated. Enhancement of the erosion process was detected for the radiation-damaged materials.
