Abstract
The W Environment in Steady-state Tokamakwas designed and built to test ITER-like tungsten plasma facing components in a long pulse (∼1000 s) scenario. Recently, a multi-energy soft x-ray diagnostic (MESXR) was installed in the WEST (W Environment in Steady-state Tokamak), to understand the sources, transport and confinement of high-Z impurities. The purpose of this work is to describe the engineering challenges posed by the long pulse scenario for the integration of the MESXR diagnostic and how they were addressed and solved. The calculations of vacuum and thermal stress as well as heat transfer are presented and discussed.
