Abstract :
To supplement existing metrology techniques EFDA-JET has been investigating non-contact surface scanning of plasma facing components during shutdown periods. Research has been focusing on commercially available technologies capable of remote handling, assessing their abilities against common artefacts with features and surface representative of new first wall protection tiles.
