An attempt was made to review the current joining techniques being con
sidered for the ITER plasma facing components (PFC). This review descr
ibes the general characteristics of two of the joining techniques (bra
zing and diffusion bonding) being used to join a beryllium armor to a
copper alloy heat sink and describes the issues associated with these
joining processes. Much of the information is relevant to the other IT
ER material candidates. Most important is a list of the relevant activ
ities either completed or in progress addressing the beryllium-copper
joining issues.
