Fibre Optics Current Sensor (FOCS) will be used at ITER to perform plasma current measurement during quasi-steady state D-T plasma operation. Effects of the tokamak harsh environment on the FOCS performance must be evaluated to predict possible failure modes and relevant mitigation measures. The influence of nuclear radiation with the significant flux of 14 MeV neutrons is of specific concern. This problem was addressed by operating the FOCS during D-T campaign at JET (DTE2). In the present report experimental results are presented and analysed. These results indicate that FOCS will effectively perform current measurements during ITER nuclear operation.
