Beryllium (Be) will be the main chamber armor material for the international thermonuclear fusion reactor ITER, which is currently under construction in France. We present a comparison of the Be erosion for different plasma conditions, including the baseline DT burning plasma scenario with power gain Q=10, as well as the low-power hydrogen (H) and helium (He) plasmas foreseen in the ITER pre-fusion power operation (PFPO) phase. It is shown that in the latter ones, the gross erosion is two orders of magnitude smaller. Another important finding is the difference in Be migration: in the DT baseline scenario 90% of the eroded Be is redeposited in the main chamber, while in the H and He cases the redeposition is reduced to 44 and 56%, respectively. The remaining Be is deposited in the divertor. Finally, it is shown that in DT the erosion is dominated by Be self-impact, while in H and He the sputtering by energetic charge-exchange neutrals (CXN) dominates.
