Tungsten (W) samples were damaged by neutron and 6.4 MeV Fe-ion irradiation above 1000 K simulating the divertor operation temperature. Deuterium (D) retention properties were examined by decorating the damaged W with D and subsequent thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) measurements. Vacancy clusters were the major D trapping site in the W irradiated with Fe-ion at 873 K, although D retention by vacancy clusters decreased in the W irradiated with Fe-ion at 1173 K due to dynamic annealing. The D de-trapping activation energy from vacancy clusters was found to be 1.85 eV. D retention in neutron damage W was larger than that damaged by Fe-ion due to the uniform distribution of irradiation defects. The D desorption behaviors from neutron damaged W was simulated well by assuming the D de-trapping activation energy to be 1.52 eV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
