Abstract :
S.W. Ferguson, D.B. Seilhymer, M. Jackson, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore California 94550. This paper presents an analysis of the mean time between failures (MTBF) and availability history of the Varian VGT8140, 400 kWatt, 140 GHz gyrotron that was operated on the Microwave Tokamak Experiment (MTX) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
