Abstract :
Heat transport by electron cyclotron radiation (ECR) in inhomogeneous high-temperature fusion plasmas in a strong magnetic field is analyzed both analytically and numerically within the framework of self-consistent description of ECR transport in plasmas in a strong magnetic field and kinetics of plasma electrons. Numerical results for the total ECR losses and spatial profile of ECR energy balance are presented for ITER-like parameters and the importance of profile effects in ECR energy balance-due to nonlocal (non-diffusive) character of ECR transport in fusion toroidal plasmas-is shown
