Abstract :
A 24MW CW Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive (EC H&CD) system operating at 170GHz is to be installed for the ITER tokamak. The EC system will represent a large step forward in the use of microwave systems for plasma heating for fusion applications; present day systems are operating in relatively short pulses (≤10s) and installed power levels of ≤4.5MW.
