Important milestone for COMPASS-U project: Design Reviews of first wall limiters and tungsten divertor
The final design review of the COMPASS-U first wall limiters and the preliminary design review of the tungsten divertor were held at the IPP on April 23-24, 2025.
The work of the plasma-facing components team was highly praised by the panel, composed of
Irene Zammuto (ASDEX Upgrade), Raphael Mitteau (WEST) and Jean Boscary (EUROfusion/DEMO). The panel
members evaluated the different designs and did not find any showstoppers. One of the highlights of
the meeting was the divertor cassette prototype made of 3D printed Inconel 718 and machined
according to requirements with a tolerance of 0.1 mm.
