Radiation-induced segregation in HT-9 martensitic steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture surface contained a small number of large relatively smooth facets, which are thought to be prior austenite grain boundaries, and strong segregation of Ni, Cr, Si, and P was detected at these surfaces.

Studies of hydrogen recycle from the walls in tokamaks using a plasma-wall interaction simulator☆
TL;DR: The recycle of hydrogen from walls and limiters plays a fundamental role in the operation of tokamaks for several reasons: (1) the average proton confinement time in the plasma is short with respect to plasma pulse length, therefore each proton is, on the average, recycled several times to and from the walls; and (2) the walls may elastically or inelastically reflect the hydrogen but, according to our measurements, half or more of the hydrogen incident on the wall may be buried in the wall, thermalized, and most will return to the plasma

Observations of arcing in the ISX tokamak
TL;DR: In this article, an experiment was set up to measure electrical and optical signals of arcing in situ, and it was found that arcing was observed only during the initial breakdown of the plasma and during the quenching phase at the end of the discharge.

TL;DR: After five years of construction JET started its operation in June 1983 and produced plasmas with peak currents of 3 MA in December as mentioned in this paper, with flat top times of a few seconds for currents of 2.4 MA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a plasmachemical method was used to deposit in situ thin carbon layers onto the liner and limiters of TEXTOR, leading to the formation of metal carbides on the exposed surfaces.
