The main goal of the carried out investigations was to examine behaviour of hydrogen isotopes (and evaluation of interaction parameters such as coefficients of diffusion, permeation and solubility) in materials of first wall and divertor of fusion facility in conditions approximate to its real working i.e. under simultaneous impact of hydrogen isotopes, high temperatures and reactor radiation.
