During ITER operation, it is expected that the large panel of plasma-wall interactions triggers the production of dust particles, potentially loaded with tritium present nearby. Tritium (T) inventory in the various materials, such as tungsten (W), is of prime importance for the safety assessment of a Tokamak machine, and it is even more crucial when considering dispersible matters like dusts: in case of a Loss Of Vacuum Accident (LOVA), dusts may form aerosols containing tritium and activation products that could escape the first confinement barrier and be released in the environment. The with tritium inventory in the described W dusts and their suspension in various liquid media for cell exposure for toxicity studies.

Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GAseous Structure) detectors have found common use in different applications since their development in 1996 by the group of I. Giomataris and G. Charpak. In this review article, we present implementations of Micromegas sub-detectors in different physics experiments and highlight the current state of development for innovative detection concepts with Micromegas.
