N2 - New linear plasma devices are currently being constructed or planned in the Trilateral Euregio Cluster
(TEC) to meet the challenges with respect to plasma surface interactions in DEMO and ITER: i) MAGNUMPSI (FOM), a high particle and power flux device with super-conducting magnetic field coils which will reach ITER-like divertor conditions at high magnetic field, ii) the newly proposed linear plasma device JULE-PSI (FZJ), which will allow to expose toxic and neutron activated target samples to ITER-like fluences and ion energies including in vacuo analysis of neutron activated samples, and iii) the plasmatron VISION I, a compact plasma device which will be operated inside the tritium lab at SCK-CEN Mol, capable to investigate tritium plasmas and moderately activated wall materials. This contribution shows the capabilities of the new devices and their forerunner experiments (Pilot-PSI at FOM and PSI-2 Ju¨lich at FZJ) in view of the main objectives of the new TEC program on plasma surface interactions.
