The lower divertor of the WEST tokamak has been partially equipped with actively cooled plasma facing unit (PFU) prototypes with the aim of testing ITER tungsten monoblock technology in a real tokamak environment. The relative alignment of these ITER-like PFUs and their exposure to the heat flux is of particular interest as the risk of monoblock edge melting was previously predicted in numerical studies. After the 2018 experimental campaign, the monoblock surface evolution was investigated by optical microscopy. The monoblock surfaces exhibit the presence of optical hot spots at the magnetic projection of the toroidal gaps of the upstream monoblocks, confirming for the first time in a tokamak environment the recent modelling predictions. Surface cracking over the full height of the optical hot spots and some localized melting is observed.

WESTトカマクの下部ダイバータには、実トカマク環境でITERタングステンモノブロック技術を試験することを目的として、強制冷却式プラズマ対向ユニット(PFU)プロトタイプが部分的に装備された。これらのITER類似PFUの相対的な位置合わせと熱流束への曝露は、モノブロック端部の溶融リスクが数値研究で以前に予測されていたことから、特に重要である。2018年の実験キャンペーン後、モノブロック表面の変化を光学顕微鏡で調査した。モノブロック表面には、上流側モノブロックのトロイダルギャップの磁気投影位置に光学的ホットスポットの存在が確認され、トカマク環境で初めて最近のモデリング予測が裏付けられた。光学的ホットスポットの全高にわたる表面き裂と、局所的な溶融が観察された。
