Abstract
SynopsisThe plasma facing components in ITER will be constructed using Tungsten. Sputtering of plasma against these walls introduces Tungsten impurities into the plasma, possibly causing quenching. As data for Tungsten in the relevant charge states is historically poor, this project aims to calculate this data, providing partial and total Dielectronic/Radiative Recombination rates for use in collisional-radiative modelling of the ITER plasma.

Tungsten has been chosen as a plasma facing metal for the ITER reactor
Used walls composed of Beryllium and/or Carbon, the former is extremely toxic to humans, making reactor decommissioning more difficult, while the latter is susceptible to high tritiation rates
Summary
Mental Reactor (ITER) is thought to be the We provide partial recombination rates, enpenultimate step in realizing commercial nuclear abling quantities such as the ionisation balance fusion power. Tungsten has been chosen as a plasma facing metal for the ITER reactor.
