Testing of Materials for Fusion

Tungsten samples on sample stage after testing in the COMPASS tokamak. Coloring is a consequence of plasma-material interaction

Tungsten samples on a sample holder after testing in the COMPASS tokamak (detail). Traces made by electric arcs on the samples after plasma-material interaction are visible
