Progress on final design of ITER radial X-ray camera

Abstract

The design of ITER Radial X-ray Camera (RXC) is nearly finished. The design of internal camera was updated using gas detector modules and considering the mechanical, electrical and gas interfaces with Diagnostic Shielding Module (DSM). The design of camera structure was optimized for the purpose of easy maintenance, safety and simplification, including support flange, Be window flange, boron carbide shielding module, external camera chamber, back flange assembly, cooling and feedthrough. The design of camera electronics was also optimized. The pre-amplifiers and mid-amplifiers are more resistant to disturbances. The chassis facilitates the maintenance and provides efficient cooling to the components inside.
