Development of yttrium-containing self-passivating tungsten alloys for future fusion power plants
Tungsten is a prime material candidate for the first wall of a future fusion reactor. In the case of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) wall temperatures of about 1450 K could be reached lasting about 30–60 days due to nuclear decay heat. In the worst case scenario combining LOCA with air ingress, th...
