Overview of Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research diagnostics

Abstract

The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) project is the Korean national fusion program for constructing a superconducting tokamak, that is capable of a steady-state operation. Currently, the KSTAR diagnostic group is concentrating on conceptual design activities to provide measurements of the plasma behavior that is necessary to satisfy the KSTAR missions. A diagnostic overview for the KSTAR device is presented.
