During operation of an ITER-like plasma fusion device, Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) of a divertor are subjected to steady-state and transient heat loads of up to 20 MW/m2. At High Heat Flux Test Facility (HHFTF) at Institute for Plasma Research, PFCs are subjected to such heat flux scenarios using 200 kW electron beam (EB). A heat flux distribution on PFCs is significantly influenced by the EB profile and scanning technique.
