Abstract :
The performance requirement of 1 (possibly 2) MW cw at 170 GHz for ITER electron cyclotron heating and current drive transmission line components is much more demanding than the 1 MW 10 s performance, generally at 110 GHz, that has been demonstrated on present devices. The high ITER heat loads will require enhanced cooling and, for some components, new or modified designs. Before component designs are finalized, testing at ITER conditions is strongly advisable.
