Abstract

2018 Status on KIT Gyrotron Activities

Highlights

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is focusing on the development of gyrotron oscillators and related components for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) and Current Drive (CD) systems for magnetically confined nuclear fusion plasmas
Since the successful start of W7-X, KIT has been focusing on the development of the first EU 170 GHz 1 MW hollow-cavity gyrotron for ITER
This development is coordinated by Fusion for Energy (F4E) and is ongoing within the European GYrotron Consortium (EGYC)

Summary

Introduction

Status on the KIT fusion gyrotron developments 1 shows the major fusion gyrotrons in development at KIT. Since the successful start of W7-X, KIT has been focusing on the development of the first EU 170 GHz 1 MW hollow-cavity gyrotron for ITER.
