概要 Arcing is a long-standing plasma-surface interaction issue, and the issue is currently being revived. This paper assesses the impact of arcing in fusion devices based on the observations in JT-60U, the Large Helical Device (LHD) and the linear divertor simulator NAGDIS-II. To investigate the first initiation process of arcing, field emission currents from several tungsten samples are measured. It is shown that the field emission current increases significantly after tungsten is exposed to helium plasmas. A postmortem analysis of JT-60U tiles reveals that arcing phenomena occurred on carbon baffle plates inside the vacuum vessel in JT-60U. From the observation of the arc trails recorded on the baffle plate, the amount of eroded materials is discussed. The arcing seems to occur frequently on the inner baffles rather than the outer baffles. From LHD, it is shown that the arcing can be initiated on nanostructured tungsten even without transient events.
