Abstract :
The ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive (ECH&CD) transmission line components will need to be suitable for 1-2 MW CW operation. The high heat loads compared to existing transmission lines will require enhanced cooling and, for some components, new or modified designs. Testing at representative ITER conditions of key components has been carried out at the JAEA 170 GHz gyrotron test stand at Naka. Preliminary test results and a discussion of new ITER-relevant components are presented.
