© 2021, The Author(s).Abstract: When developing the stationary fusion reactor, an unresolved issue is the design of its intra-chamber plasma-facing elements. It has now become obvious that among the materials conventionally used for intra-chamber elements, there are no solid structural materials that would meet the requirements for the long-term operation under the effect of the flux of fusion neutrons (14 MeV) with a density of ~1014 cm–2 s–1 and the heat flux with a power density of 10–20 MW/m2. An alternative solution to this problem is the use of liquid metals as a plasma-facing materials, and, first of all, the use of lithium, which has a low atomic number (low charge number Z). Other easily-melting metals are also considered, which have higher Z number, but lower saturation vapor pressure than lithium. This will make it possible to create the long-lived, heavy-to-damage and self-renewing surface of the intra-chamber elements, which will not contaminate the plasma. The main ideas of the alternative concept of the intra-chamber elements can be formulated based on the comprehensive analysis of the problems and requirements arising during the development of intra-chamber elements of the stationary reactor, for example, the DEMO-type reactor. The article presents the analysis of the possible design of the lithium-coated intra-chamber elements and discusses the main ideas of the lithium first wall concept for the tokamak with reactor technologies.
