The availability of future fusion devices, such as a nuclear science facility or demonstration power station, greatly depends on long operating lifetimes plasma facing components in their divertors. ORNL is designing the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), superconducting magnet, steady-state device to address material interactions reactors. MPEX will utilize new highintensity source concept based RF technology. This allow experiment cover entire expected conditions divertor reactor....
