Project Details

Goal of the project

The development of auxiliary control systems for the upcoming fusion reactors is challenging. To address this challenge LPP recently proposed an innovative Radio Frequency (RF) heating actuator, the Travelling Wave Array (TWA), which offers key advantages compared to today’s available technology. In this project, LPP will design, manufacture and test a TWA antenna for the WEST tokamak at CEA Cadarache, FR.
