9th ITPA meeting on SOL/divertor physics, Garching, May 7-10, 2007 Depth-profiling and thermal desorption of hydrogen isotopes for plasma facing carbon tiles in JT-60U(Long term hydrogen retention)T. Tanabe, Kyushu University ☆Deep penetration into the bulk Penetration thorough open pores of CFC and graphite Thermal diffusion Absorption at and/or permeation to the backside of tiles. ☆Depth profiles in redeposited layers and eroded area Depth profiles of T in divertor tiles of JET and JT-60U Depth profiles and TDS of hydrogen isotopes (H, D and T) Importance of Isotopic exchange and tile temperature
