چکیده
The neutral beam injection (NBI) system is designed to provide the ion heating and current drive for the high performance operation and long pulse operation of the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR). The KSTAR NBI consists of two beam lines. Each beam line contains three ion sources of which one ion source has been designed to deliver more than 2.5 MW of deuterium neutral beam power with maximum 120-keV beam energy. Consequently, the final goal of the KSTAR NBI system aims to inject more than 14 MW of deuterium beam power with the two beam lines. According to the planned NBI system, the first NBI system is to demonstrate the beam injection from one ion source into the KSTAR tokamak plasma in 2010 campaign including the system commissioning of each components and subsystems. In this paper, the construction and the commissioning of the first NBI system with one ion source is presented.

Commissioning Results of the KSTAR Cryogenic System
The cryogenic system for the KSTAR superconducting magnets has been commissioned. It consists of a cold box, distribution boxes (DB) and cryogenic transfer lines. The cold box and DB #1 provide 600 g/s of supercritical helium to cool the superconducting (SC) magnets, their SC bus-lines, and the magnet support structures. It also provides 17.5 g/s of liquid helium to the current leads and suppli...
متن کاملOverview of Recent Commissioning Results of KSTAR
KSTAR is an advanced tokamak with fully superconducting coils for the steady state plasma research. The detailed engineering design and infrastructure setup for R & D have been completed in 2001. In March 2008, after the construction period of seven years, the KSTAR assembly has been completed, by connecting the cryogenic transfer lines between the tokamak and the cryogenic distribution system....
متن کاملKSTAR Assembly and Vacuum Commissioning for the 1 st Plasma
The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device site assembly was completed by May 2007. During the assembly period, several key technologies were developed to assemble the superconducting tokamak and its ancillary systems. As will be described in this paper, we encountered several problems and difficulties that mainly stemmed from the uniqueness of the superconducting tokama...
متن کاملMeasurement of edge plasma parameters at KSTAR using a combination of Lithium and Deuterium Beam Emission Spectroscopy
A 60 keV neutral Lithium beam system was designed and built up for beam emission spectroscopy measurement of edge plasma on KSTAR. The measurement will be the complementary of the heating beam based emission spectroscopy system which was built up in 2012, using the same observation system with different interference filters. The electron density and its fluctuation, thus the density distributio...
متن کاملCommissioning and early experience with a new generation low-energy linear accelerator in zahedan
Introduction: Since commissioning beam data are treated as a reference and ultimately used by treatment planning systems, it is vitally important that the collected data are of the highest quality to avoid dosimetric and patient treatment errors that may subsequently lead to a poor radiation outcome. Beam data commissioning should be performed with appropriate knowledge and pr...
