DEVELOPMENT OF DUST REMOVAL SYSTEM FOR FUSION-REACTOR

In the future fusion reactor, dust control may become more important f or safety, than for existing fusion facilities. Some estimations show more than hundreds kg/yr dust will be generated from the plasma facing materials in the vacuum vessel. If we consider continuously operating plant, dust should be monitored aid removed during the operation time . Optical monitoring methods and electrostatic removal methods are use ful approaches to accomplish this. An investigation of the development of the dust removal system for a fusion reactor is reported in this p aper.
