Abstract

Abstract Preliminary TECXY code simulation results of scrape‐off layer conditions in DEMO1 reactor design are presented. The values for snowflake (SF) and single null divertor configurations are discussed. The SF divertor configuration used here, although not fully optimised yet, already promises better performance than standard single null divertor as far as heat load mitigation due to interactions with neutrals.
