A new test facility in Padova will house the full-size prototype of the ITER heating neutral beam (NB) injector, MITICA. This facility will test the MITICA beam source at 17 MW, ensuring it meets ITER requirements.

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Fusion energy research
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Development of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) neutral beam (NB) system is ongoing.
  • A dedicated test facility is planned for Padova to house a full-scale prototype of the ITER heating NB injector, named MITICA.
  • The MITICA injector is designed to operate at a high beam power of 17 MW, meeting stringent ITER requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the major design choices and revisions for the MITICA beam source.
  • To assess the electrostatic and thermo-mechanical behavior of the MITICA beam source through numerical analyses.
  • To ensure the MITICA beam source is optimized for performance and integration within the ITER NB system.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed presentation of design evolution and key decisions for the MITICA beam source.
