Impact of ELM mitigation on the ITER monoblock thermal behavior and the tungsten recrystallization depth

Type I Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) occur naturally in H-mode plasmas, the operational regime envisaged for ITER, and lead to high temporal heat load peaks on plasma-facing components that might induce surface melting and deteriorated material properties due to recrystallization. ELM mitigation techn...
