Recent experiments at JET (Joint European Torus, Culham) showed how to spread the heat load across different tiles by moving the 'strike point' (specific divertor tiles which spread the heat). In ITER, the expected heat load will be much higher than at JET that is why all obtained results are very valuable. The article presents the idea how to radiate power before it reaches the divertor tiles with an application of gas seeding.
