Scavenging effect of ammonia and nitrogen injected at two positions: in the plasmas (blue) and in in front of the deposition sample (red). Note the higher values of mass 28
required for the same inhibition effect
CONCLUSIONS- Better inhibition of carbon deposits by ammonia injection due to volatile HCN formation- NO difference between in-plasma/afterglow injection for ammonia

• no scavenging effect has been detected• complete suppression of deposition on powered electrode is attributed to direct sputtering of the growing film by N2
+ ions •charge exchange reactions with molecules (methyl radicals) as well decrease the sticking probability
At high rf power, in high fragmentation condition of molecules, a complete suppression of the deposition has been observed above 300 W. The inhibition of deposition was attributed to the gas phase reaction between the film precursors, like CxHy, and atomic nitrogen. These results lead to conclusion that the scavenger effect produces volatile molecules such as hydrocarbons and hydrogen cyanide which are pumped away.

Mass spectra of gas mixture passing through the discharge chamber(M 16, M 17 – NH3 M 27 – HCN M 28 – N2)
At low RF powers, the NH3 molecules are destroyed and N2 molecules are formed, causing a rise of partial pressure of N2.
At generator powers above 600 W the nitrogen in the discharge interacts with a-C:H films deposited on the walls of the vessel, resulting in a production of HCN.

Oxygen atoms can remove hydrocarbons effectively in several different experiments
All the evidence indicates that NH3 is more effective for removing hydrocarbons than N2
HCN is the predominant volatile species resulting from removing carbon films
Films containing substitutes for Be for ITER-like trials have been successfully developed

Overall daily particle balance in He/H2 RF shots on D saturated walls. Hydrogen injection (left scale) is about 10 times hydrogen release from walls (H2 and HD) (right scale). D2 GDC was done at the red arrow marked points. As can be seen, after fresh GDC, the walls tends to saturate shot by shot after, but no saturation is reached in the (3-5 RF) shots. RF shots at low Bt ( blue points) show more hydrogen consumption, since larger areas are wetted by RF

Pulsed He-ICWC discharge, duty cycle = 2 sec. ON / 8 sec. OFF
Increase due to summation of aftershot pressure level
Decrease due to wall desaturation (approach to p(H2)= 0)
Duty cycle can be decreased 2:20 or more

Both TEXTOR and Tore Supra have devoted campaign days to investigating ICWC during 2009
Both have concentrated on D/H isotope exchange using H2/He ICWC
Resulting wall loading with H has then meant that He discharges have been required for plasma recovery (though relatively easy)

Conclusions:Removal of a-C:H layers from inside gaps demonstrated for gap widths 0.5-1.5 mm - Narrower the gap, higher the removal rate - Higher removal rate at the gap entrance- Carbon removal is efficient even on the bottom of the gap (down to 23 mm)

Laser cleaning has been demonstrated in situ in Tore Supra
Laser cleaning has to be accompanied by dust collection. This is only efficient at atmospheric pressure and low temperature.
Removal of W films on graphite demonstrated.
Dust from tokamaks heated to the ITER vessel temperature will only release ~10% of the contained tritium

Conclusions:Conclusions:
i. All the evidence shows that NH3 is a more effective scavenger than N2, and HCN is the important volatile species
ii. TEXTOR and Tore Supra have each devoted campaign days to development of ICWC
iii. Standard films that simulate likely deposition in ITER (with a replacement for beryllium) have been developed
iv. Consideration is now being given to applicability of chemical and photonic cleaning methods on ITER
v. Removal rates for co-deposit trapped in tile gaps/castellations still require improvement to be applicable
vi. The impact of repetitive oxidising plasmas (GDC/RF) on beryllium bulk, and removal of beryllium oxide have yet to be explored
