Abstract
The operational experience of present day high power EC systems is nominally only for a few seconds. This is a long way away from the thousands of seconds required for ITER. It would be beneficial to the ITER program that EC system components be tested to full parameters prior to committing to producing the full set of components. The planned growth in the EC system on DIII-D over the next few years provides the opportunity to assemble a test stand for ITER EC components. By building the DIII-D hardware to the ITER specifications it will allow ITER to gain beneficial prototyping experience on a working tokamak, prior to committing to building the hardware for delivery to ITER.
