Abstract
Physics design of ITER and its databases are reviewed. The databases are compiled widely from the data of world wide tokamaks and the related devices. They are presented either in the specialist meetings held during ITER Concept Definition Phase, or reported as contributions for ITER short term R&D during the same phase. Extrapolations of these databases to ITER including modelling studies and their uncertainties are summarised. Physics databases described here comprise the following major physics areas: 1. Energy confinement, 2. Power and particle control, 3. Operation limit and control, 4. Current drive and heating, 5. α-particles and burning plasmas, 6. System studies and operation scenarios.
