Abstract
Divertor materials erosion and lifetime is a critical issue in designing plasma-facing components (PFCs) for ITER. Currently, three materials are considered as candidates to be used for the divertor target plate, namely, beryllium, carbon and tungsten. In this paper, major issues associated with the use of these candidates are reviewed and relevant data obtained from recent PISCES experiments will be discussed with the main emphasis on the wall lifetime issue.Keywords
