Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Desorption behavior of D2O or H2O, as a simulant of HTO, on iron surface covered with thin iron oxide film was studied by photon stimulated desorption (PSD) using deuterium lamp, Hg-Xe lamp and dye laser as photon sources. When the iron was irradiated with photon, water or hydrogen molecules were desorbed. Desorption behavior of water and hydrogen molecules depended on the incident energy of photon. Desorption mechanism of water and hydrogen molecules by photon irradiation is discussed.
