Abstract :
For plasma stabilisation in ITER, a reference design of an electron cyclotron (EC) wave launcher was developed (8 remotely steerable beamlines) and improved by advanced remote and front steering configurations. The key concepts of their structural integration into the port plug environment are presented for assuring efficient neutron and thermal shielding.
