Summary:
In NFRI, 110 GHz gyrotron is used for pre-ionization and electron cyclotron heating on KSTAR. Recently, a 170 GHz, 1 MW-class gyrotron is installed at NFRI and under conditioning in order to execute joint experiments of electron cyclotron heating and current drive using ITER prototype developed by JAEA on KSTAR. The major specifications and power output characteristics of 110/170 GHz gyrotrons will be presented. Also, their applications to the KSTAR plasma heating and current drive experiments will be briefly introduced.
