  1. PFC Status and Directions Jeffrey N. Brooks Plasma Facing Components Steering Committee Plasma Facing Components Annual Meeting August 3-6, 2010 UCLA/Los Angeles

  2. PFC Steering Committee Task: Guide work, priorities, budgets Jeff Brooks (Purdue) – Chairman Jean Paul Allain (Purdue) – Deputy Gene Nardella, Barry Sullivan – DOE Stan Milora – VLT Members D. Buchenauer (SNL) R. Nygren (SNL) R. Doerner (UCSD) T. Rognlien (LLNL) A. Hassanein (Purdue) D. Ruzic (UIUC) R. Maingi (ORNL) G. Tynan (UCSD) R. Majeski (PPPL) M. Ulrickson (SNL) N. Morley (UCLA) C.

  3. PFC Web Site: http://engineering.purdue.edu/pfc e-mail to : J.P. Allain: allain@purdue.edu We will post presentations from this meeting

  4. Communication • “Physical” Meeting – 1/year: next- 2011 tbd. • Steering Committee conference calls – monthly • Special Topic conference calls – as needed

  5. Programmatic issues, work areas, priorities • ITER/enabling-technologies (solid materials) ~90% --Focus on All-Metal plasma facing components --Experiments at DIII-D, PISCES, CMOD, US Lab facilities (SNL, UIUC, MIT, etc.) --Modeling/analysis (plasma edge/sol, sputter erosion, ELM etc. erosion, mixed-materials, etc.) • Liquid lithium ~10% --NSTX Liquid Lithium Divertor, Lab work, other liquid metals (Sn, Ga) • JET, other international devices • DEMO, other future device PFC studies

  6. Effort defined by Materials 7

  7. Effort defined by Devices 8

  8. Programmatic issues contd. • Coordinate PFC Program with other US groups/activities • Burning Plasma Organization • subgroups e.g. tritium issues, diagnostic mirrors • FNSF • Edge Physics Group • Materials Group • FESAC • FSP • Etc.

  9. Challenges • ReNeW: “Taming the Plasma Interface”– Challenges identified. Our PFC Community Response. • Plasma facing component performance is a critical issue for fusion--work underfunded by ~X3 • ITER full power D-T plasma in 18 years--motivation issue.
