Beryllium has been chosen as the first wall material for ITER. In order to understand the issues of material migration and tritium retention associated with the use of beryllium, a largely beryllium first wall will be installed in JET. As part of the JET ITER-like wall, beryllium tiles with marker coatings are proposed as a diagnostic tool for studying the erosion and deposition of beryllium around the vessel. The nominal structure for these coatings is a similar to 10 mu m beryllium surface layer separated from the beryllium tile by a 2-3 mu m metallic inter-layer. Two types of coatings are tested here; one with a nickel inter-layer anti one with a copper/beryllium mixed inter-layer. The coating samples were deposited by DC magnetron Sputtering at General Atomics and were exposed to deuterium plasma in PISCES-B. The results of this testing show that the beryllium/nickel marker coating would be suitable for installation in JET. (C) 2009 A. Widdowson. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
