Dust can be an important contributor to impurity contamination of the core and scrape-off-layer (SOL) plasmas in tokamak fusion devices. This is the first report about investigation of transport of carbon dust particles in case of JT-60U tokamak using the dust transport code (DUSTT). The DUSTT code takes into account various plasma-dust interaction processes. In the present report, background plasma parameters in JT-60U such as densities and temperatures of electron, ion and neutral atom were computed with the UEDGE code. Three dimensional trajectories, temperature evolution, and radius variation of dust particles launched from different positions at the inner divertor, the outer divertor and the dome structure in JT-60U tokamak were simulated numerically to study dynamics and transport of dust particles there. As a result, the lifetime of dust particles is dependent mainly on the ion density in trajectories in final term.
