Neutral beam injection (NBI) system with two neutral beam injections will be constructed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in two stages for high power auxiliary plasmas heating and non-inductive current drive. Each NBI can deliver 2∼4 MW beam power with 50∼80 keV beam energy in 10∼100 s pulse length. Each elements of the NBI system are presented in this contribution.
