Abstract:
The 2nd International Symposium on Lithium Applications for Fusion Devices
(ISLA-2011) was held on April 27 - 29, 2011 at the Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory (PPPL). Previously, a workshop on Lithium Effects on Plasmas had been held
at PPPL in October 1996, when TFTR was essentially the only tokamak routinely
applying lithium to its plasma-facing components to improve plasma performance. A
summary report from that earlier workshop was published in 1997 [1]. Since then, the
benefits of lithium have been observed and exploited in a growing number of magnetic
confinement fusion devices worldwide including CDX-U (USA), CPD (Japan), HT-7
(China), FTU (Italy), NSTX (USA), T-11 (Russia) and TJ-II (Spain). This expansion of
research motivated the start of a series of international lithium workshops last year
(2010). The 1st International Workshop on Lithium Applications to Boundary Control in
Fusion Devices was held at the National Institute of Fusion Sciences (NIFS) in Toki,
Japan in January 18-20th, 2010 and the summary report was published later in 2010 [2].
