The ITER Plasma Position Reflectometry (PPR) system will be used to estimate the distance between the position of the magnetic separatrix and the first-wall at four pre-defined locations also known as gaps 3, 4, 5, and 6, complementing the information provided by the magnetic diagnostics. For gaps 4 and 6, the antennas are to be installed in-vessel between two blanket shield modules. The...

The ITER bolometer diagnostic shall provide the measurement of the total radiation emitted from the plasma, a part of the overall energy balance. About 500 lines-of-sight (LOS) will be installed in ITER observing the whole plasma from many different angles to enable reliable measurements and tomographic reconstructions of the spatially resolved radiation profile. The LOS are bundled in up to...

One of the main research lines currently investigated within the FTU programs is the possibility to adopt a technology based on liquid metals as first plasma wall. More particularly, the main attention has been devoted to the analysis of plasma performances when using a liquid lithium limiter (LLL) device. The control of the limiter surface temperature reveals to be a fundamental aspect of the...

The equatorial visible infrared wide angle viewing system (WAVS) is one of the key diagnostics in ITER aiming at the machine protection and plasma control. Those two main functions are achieved by means of infrared thermography and visible observation of the main plasma facing components.
The diagnostic is composed of 15 lines of sight integrated in 4 equatorial port plugs allowing coverage of...
