Abstract:
The diagnostic components of Thomson scattering (TS) placed on ITER divertor cassettes are exposed to radiation, radiation heating, exposure to a strong magnetic field of 6–9 T, as well as shock effects from the interaction of a permanent magnetic field with eddy currents induced in structures during plasma discharge failures. The article discusses the design features of components that allow them to remain operational in close proximity to thermonuclear plasma, fulfilling specific diagnostic requirements.
