Abstract
For the efficient operation of a tokamak like JET, it is very important to provide immediate visual information on the position of the plasma within the vessel (and possible regions of interaction with the wall) from a wide-angle view showing the complete plasma cross-section, and of the strike-point positions in the divertor. It will be more important to have an comprehensive on-line viewing system in ITER from the very start of operations, since the much larger heating power involved has a greater potential for causing problems. The development of viewing systems at JET has highlighted the advantages and difficulties inherent in such systems, and has also indicated the possibilities of the technology.
