The trajectory of the energetic triton is evaluated by means of the collisionless Lorentz orbit code, and the strike point is calculated by the winding number algorithm. The intersection points of the tritons and the plasma facing wall are visualized as spheres with the rendered internal vacuum wall and divertor plates in the VR space, and it is possible to directly observe the strike points distributed on the wall and on the plates. It is found that many tritons intersect with the divertor plates and that some strike on the vacuum vessel. To evaluate the effectiveness of this VR visualization, we ask people to score the effect of experience and the level of understanding after finding the place where many particles attack on the plasma facing wall on the two-dimensional plane or in the VR space. This visualization helps us to determine where the material probes should be placed on the plasma facing wall in the real LHD for experimental analysis of the accumulated tritium on the plasma facing wall. This development of VR visualization will make a significant contribution to the fusion plasma research.}, pages = {281--292}, title = {Virtual-reality visualization of loss points of 1 MeV tritons in the Large Helical Device, LHD}, volume = {25}, year = {2021} }
