Proceeding of the 2nd International Symposium on Lithium Applications for Fusion Devices

摘要

The 2nd International Symposium on Lithium Applications for Fusion Devices (ISLA-2011) was held on April 27-29, 2011, at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). Previously, a workshop on Lithium Effects on Plasmas had been held at PPPL in October 1996, when TFTR was essentially the only tokamak routinely applying lithium to its plasma-facing components to improve plasma performance. A summary report from that earlier workshop was published in 1997 [1]. In early 1998, the APEX study was initiated to encourage innovation and scientific understanding for fusion plasma facing components [2]. The primary objective of APEX was to identify and explore novel, possibly revolutionary, concepts for the chamber technology that can substantially improve the attractiveness of fusion energy systems.
