Plasma operation with high-Z plasma facing components is investigated with regard to sputtering, core impurity contamination and scenario restrictions. A simple model based on dimensionless quantities for fuel and high-Z ion sources and transport to describe the high-Z concentration in the plasma core is introduced. The impurity release and further transport is factorized into the sputtering yield, the relative pedestal penetration probability and a core confinement enhancement factor. Since there are quite large uncertainties, in particular, in the sputtering source and the edge transport of high-Z impurities, very different scenarios covering a wide parameter range are taken into account in order to resolve the experimental trends. Sputtering of tungsten by charge exchange neutrals in the energy range 0.5-2 keV is comparable to the effect of impurity ion sputtering, while the impact of thermal fuel ions is negligible. Fast ions produced by neutral beam injection as well as sheath acceleration during ICR heating may cause considerable high-Z sources if the limiters on the lowfield side have high-Z surfaces. The critical behaviour of the central high-Z concentration in some experimental scenarios could be attributed to edge and core transport parameters in the concentration model. The improved H-mode with off-central heating turns out to be the most critical one, since a hot edge is combined with peaked density profiles.
