Abstract
The measurement of many basic plasma parameters on next-step ignition devices such as ITER is a challenge to the fusion community. The ITER environment is different in terms of size, time scale, plasma parameter range, accuracy and reliability needs, etc., such that many current diagnostic techniques will not be directly applicable, while the implementation of other techniques will be significantly different from that employed at present. In this situation, the optimal diagnostic design philosophy for ITER may be quite different from that employed to date, perhaps, for example, by emphasizing measurement packages rather than individual diagnostic systems. This concept is discussed further in Section II below, and it should be noted that in defining the diagnostic requirements for ITER emphasis has been placed on identifying plasma parameters which must be measured, as opposed to selecting specific diagnostics. In general, this situation puts a premium on measurement systems, such as reflectometry, which can be fully demonstrated on current devices, and achieve the required levels of accuracy and reliability.
