Abstract
This paper describes the ITER tokamak from the standpoint of operation, with emphasis on the plasma control system. It discusses the plasma operation scenario sequence that is carried out in feedforward control mode, and presents the overall feedback control system, which can be roughly separated into two weakly coupled control loops. Details about each control loop, the magnetic and kinetic controller, are also given.
