TL;DR: In this paper, the ITER divertor must exhaust most of the alpha particle power and the He ash at acceptable erosion rates, and the plasma pressure along the field must be reduced by more than a factor 10, reducing also the target ion flux.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent work in scrape-off layer (SOL) and divertor physics is presented, where new and existing data from a variety of experiments have been used to make cross-experiment comparisons with implications for further research and ITER.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the parameter space of the ITER divertor with the B2-Eirene code is presented, where relations between plasma parameters at the separatrix, the interface between the core and edge plasma, are parametrized to provide a set of boundary conditions for the core models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of the design of the divertor and first-wall/shield, the main in-vessel components for ITER, is reviewed, and three materials and relevant joining techniques are developed in the R&D program.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the present state of the development of the computational model of the ITER edge plasma and introduce neutral-neutral collisions and molecular dynamics into the self-consistent scheme.
