abstract = {We describe the new ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluated nuclear reaction data library. ENDF/B-VIII.0 fully incorporates the new IAEA standards, includes improved thermal neutron scattering data and uses new evaluated data from the CIELO project for neutron reactions on 1H, 16O, 56Fe, 235U, 238U and 239Pu described in companion papers in the present issue of Nuclear Data Sheets. The evaluations benefit from recent experimental data obtained in the U.S. and Europe, and improvements in theory and simulation. Notable advances include updated evaluated data for light nuclei, structural materials, actinides, fission energy release, prompt fission neutron and γ-ray spectra, thermal neutron scattering data, and charged-particle reactions. Integral validation testing is shown for a wide range of criticality, reaction rate, and neutron transmission benchmarks. In general, integral validation performance of the library is improved relative to the previous ENDF/B-VII.1 library.},

The Dirichlet boundary condition on $\Gamma_\mathrm{top}$ for the hydrogen transport corresponds to a flux balance between the implanted flux and the flux that is retro-desorbed at the surface (see \refsec{triangle model}).

Simulating these transient cycles would require stepsizes of $\approx \SI{10}{s}$ in order to capture the ramp-up and ramp-down phases.
Simulating one cycle would therefore require more than 60 steps (excluding the resting phase).

On the other hand, FESTIM has an adaptive stepsize feature allowing the stepsize to increase (resp. decrease) when steps are solved in less (resp. more) than five Newton iterations.
Therefore, if a continuous plasma exposure was simulated, the adaptive stepsize would allow the stepsize to increase up to thousands of seconds, reducing a lot the simulation time.

To verify the validity of this approximation, 1D simulations were run with plasma cycles or continuous exposure.

For the case at \SI{6}{MW.m^{-2}}, differences start to appear after \SI{3e6}{s} (\SI{7e5}{s} at \SI{7}{MW.m^{-2}}).
After \SI{2e7}{s} of continuous exposure, the absolute difference at \SI{6}{MW.m^{-2}} was 25 \% and 55 \% at \SI{7}{MW.m^{-2}}.

This time of appearance of differences is identical to the time required for the hydrogen to migrate up to the W/Cu interface.
This time of appearance of differences corresponds to the time required for the hydrogen to migrate up to the W/Cu interface.
This is explained by the high solubility ratio between W, Cu and CuCrZr leading to a higher concentration of mobile particles in CuCrZr (see \reffig{concentration fields w/wo chemical potential}) and therefore a higher trapping rate.
Since the trap density in Cu is low, the global inventory is not affected by it.

Moreover, outgassing flux through the cooling pipe greatly depends on the boundary condition imposed at the cooling surface.
Therefore, in order to assess the impact of interface conditions on the outgassing flux through the cooling pipe, uncertainties must first be lifted regarding the recombination process occurring on surfaces in contact with water.

Since this work is motivated by the estimation of the divertor inventory, the concentration continuity assumption is therefore valid.
Moreover, only a few monoblocks are exposed to high heat fluxes and most of the divertor is at the coolant temperature (this will be explained further in \refch{Divertor inventory estimation}).

Monoblocks in a fusion reactor will be exposed to a wide range of exposure conditions (heat and particle fluxes) and their behaviour in terms of hydrogen transport will change based on these conditions.

In ITER, these fluxes can reach $\approx$ \SI{10}{MW.m^{-2}} and $\approx$ \SI{e24}{H.m^{-2}.s^{-1}} (see \reffig{divertor exposure conditions}).
The distribution of these fluxes depend on many operation parameters.

One way of simulating a whole divertor would be to simulate each and every monoblock for a given scenario along one Plasma-Facing Unit.

This Chapter focusses on the estimation of the \gls{H} \gls{inventory} in the \glspl{divertor} of \acrshort{west} and \gls{iter}.
This estimation relies on the \gls{monoblock} behaviour law computed in \refch{Chapter3}.
This behaviour law allows rapid evaluations of the \glspl{monoblock} \gls{H} \gls{inventory} for any exposure condition.
Inputs are taken from \gls{soledge}-EIRENE \cite{bufferand_three-dimensional_2019} and \gls{solps} \cite{kaveeva_solps-iter_2020} plasma simulations.
