Overview of Korea heat load test facilities for plasma facing components

There are two Korea Heat Load Test Facilities (KoHLT-1, 2) to perform the high heat flux test for the interface bonding of the plasma facing components and ITER first wall mockups at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). High heat flux tests for various beryllium mockups have been carried out in these facilities, including first wall qualification mockups and a mockup of test blanket modules, and the reliability of the KoHLTs facilities for long-term operations at a high heat flux was verified, and its application for fusion material development will be enlarged to include various research areas.
