Popis: Divertor power load is a major challenge towards a burning plasma in a next-step tokamak. Here, the first results of a divertor power load characterisation in tritium plasmas in type-I ELMy H-mode, obtained in the JET deuterium-tritium campaign (DTE2) performed in 2021, are presented. It is demonstrated that both, transient loads due to type-I ELMs as well as the power fall-off length, do not exhibit an explicit ion mass dependence, with remarkably similar values in the tritium plasmas and in the deuterium references. This gives an improved credence to published scaling law predictions, solely based on deuterium plasma experiments. Moreover, the type-I ELM impact on the inner divertor target is studied in deuterium discharges. A slightly increased parallel energy fluence on the inner target with a factor of 1.08 compared to the outer target is observed. This is explained by the smaller major radius of the inner target.
