Abstract
This paper presents the outline design of an ITER neutron camera, to provide control and plasma diagnostic information based on the deduced neutron emission profile. Information can be obtained on total neutron emission (fuel burn-up rate), alpha-particle birth profile, plasma position and the time dependent effects of plasma instabilities such as sawteeth. The design presented here concerns only a horizontally, radially, viewing (Horizontal) camera. A vertically viewing (Vertical) camera is also necessary for most requirements, and is assumed to have similar design principles and capabilities. This is primarily an engineering design paper, because the physics of neutron production and detection are well known.
