Abstract

The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Research (KSTAR) tokamak will have 6 MW of radio-frequency (rf) heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). The response of the antenna to the heat loads is analyzed and the resulting stresses in the Faraday shield during the normal operation is calculated. Various heat loading conditions including in the analyzes are the heat loads from the plasma, the ripple-trapped beam particles and the rf loss.
