The Plasma-Facing Materials Suite

The armour and heat sinks that survive facing the plasma.

Pair

Tungsten + CuCrZr

Plasma-facing components pair refractory armour (tungsten) with copper-alloy heat sinks (CuCrZr), bonded by processes like HIP, rated for 1.97 MW/m2 on the breeder. On the burner, a reflective liner is the deciding plasma-facing choice.

These surfaces are designed for inspection and replacement.
