Integration of physics instruments of the ITER EC Upper Launcher — •Peter Späh, Gaetano Aiello, Andreas Meier, Theo Scherer, Sabine Schreck und Dirk Strauß — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1

Physics instruments installation often causes challenging mechanical design requirements and components must be protected properly from harsh environmental conditions. This is particularly the case for fusion plants like ITER, where sensitive applications shall operate under severe conditions in terms of heat, mechanical loads and radiation.

For ITER an EC Heating and Current Drive System has been designed where delicate components like microwave reflectors (mirrors), corrugated waveguides, mirror actuators, dielectric transmission devices (CVD Diamond windows) and shutter valves were precisely integrated into heavy system components, designed to sustain substantial mechanical loads and equipped with powerful cooling systems and radiation shielding.

This poster presents the mechanical integration of physics instruments of the ITER EC Upper Launcher and their connection to appropriate cooling systems.
