Description	The project focuses on researching and developing new, advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to enhance the durability of the 'first wall' in a fusion power plant, which is the critical armor surrounding the fusion reactor's core plasma. The University of Tennessee is involved in two ARPA-E funded projects under the CHADWICK program, collaborating with the University of Kentucky and Stony Brook University to develop plasma-facing surfaces and cooling channels to withstand high temperatures and radiation damage.
