Abstract
It is important to measure retentions and depth profiles of deuterium and tritium on plasma facing materials to understand plasma-wall interactions. The nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) has been established using a deuteron beam with an adjustable energy. By means of the NRA, depth profiles of deuterium and tritium on the surface of JT-60 divertor graphite tiles irradiated with DD burning were obtained. The NRA method showed that the average concentrations of the deuterium retained in the surface of two different were 1.3 × 10 16 and 0.3 × 10 16 cm −2. α-particles from the T(d, α)n reaction were measured from a dome unit tile of JT-60U W-shaped divertor and the measured activity of tritium was about 18 kBq/cm 2. The peak energy of the α spectrum obtained with the NRA was about 1.2 MeV. This result implies that energetic tritons were implanted in the divertor graphite tile.
