The one-dimensional numerical simulations of the deformation during and after the pulsed heat load are carried out for tungsten manufactured according to ITER specifications. The calculations for stress-relieved tungsten demonstrated the cracking at temperatures above ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. The features of the stresses caused by thermal expansion are discussed
