Radiative cooling scenario by impurity seeding has been developed and the divertor geometry, and the plasma operation have been investigated for Demo with the fusion power of 1.5 GW, using SONIC simulation. Results showed the total peak heat load is reduced to less than 10 MWm for the total radiation power fraction of 0.7-0.8. The heat load can be handled by the water-cooling and tungsten (W) monoblock target design, provided that Cu-alloy cooling pipe is applied. The design is applied only in the divertor target. F82H cooling pipe design will be applied for the divertor baffle and dome under higher neutron flux and lower heat load condition. Heat transport analysis of the target design and cooling-water pipes showed that the divertor design can handle the heat load distribution. The conceptual design study of the Demo divertor and power exhaust is presented. Development issues of physics, engineering and plasma material interaction from ITER technology will be also discussed.
