Abstract. Deuterium inventories have been measured in plasma facing components
of ASDEX Upgrade. Nearly 60% of the total D-inventory was observed in the
lower inner divertor target plate in redeposited layers of low-Z material.
The outer divertor, however, was found to be dominated by erosion processes
and correspondingly retained a much lower amount of deuterium. The D-inventory
at the main chamber plasma facing components can be explained by a model
employing implantation of charge-exchange neutrals, which yields very good
agreement with the experimental findings for all surfaces not exposed to
direct ion fluxes.
