TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the risks engendered by the baseline divertor strategy with regard to known W plasma-material interaction issues and briefly present the current status of a possible full-tungsten (W) divertor design.

TL;DR: The ITER PFC design has now reached a rather mature stage following the 2007 ITER Design Review as discussed by the authors, and the key elements of the design, reviews the physics drivers, essentially thermal load specifications, which have defined the concept and discusses a selection of material and design issues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the requirements for edge localized mode (ELM) control and the application of ELM control methods both for high fusion performance DT operation and non-active low-current operation in ITER.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global simulation code called WallDYN was developed to predict erosion/re-deposition patterns and to understand the underlying principal processes of the first wall surface composition to plasma impurity transport.

TL;DR: In this article, a baseline strategy for dust and tritium-inventory control and recovery in ITER has been established and preparations are underway for its implementation, suggesting that the in-vessel T-retention could reach the administrative limit of 640 ǫ in as little as ∼2 months of operation.
