Integration and evolution of architectural components in the ITER plasma control system: deployment and experimental validation at KSTAR

The ITER Plasma Control System (PCS) is a large-scale, highly integrated control system designed to autonomously execute all phases of tokamak pulse operation. Given its extended development horizon, strong functional couplings, and stringent reliability requirements, PCS develop...

Electromagnetic analysis of beams for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher

Four Electron Cyclotron Upper Launchers (UL) will be used in ITER to inject power at 170 GHz, mainly for suppression of MHD instabilities, especially Neoclassical Tearing Modes. For each UL, the quasi-optical section injecting millimetre waves into the plasma consists of eight be...

A statistical study on as-built deviation of ITER blanket shield block interfaces

The blanket shield block (SB) is a key component of ITER blanket system, providing critical interfaces for the attachment of the first wall (FW) and assembly within the vacuum vessel (VV). To ensure assembly feasibility which is first assembled on VV in ITER site, the SBs are man...
