Russia ships auxiliary heating equipment
At the core of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is the microwave-generating gyrotron. In a gyrotron, beams of electrons are accelerated toward a cavity where a strong magnetic field is applied. The interaction between the rotating (cyclotron) motion of the electrons and the magnetic field generate high-frequency radio waves that "travel" in a straight line into the plasma, almost like an optical beam.
Russia is manufacturing 8 of the 24 gyrotrons required by 澳门六合彩高手. Six gyrotron complexes have already been completed, of which four are required to be on site by First Plasma. The Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences has been engaged in the development and scientific guidance for the creation of these unique devices, while their fabrication is carried out at the GYKOM enterprise in Nizhny Novgorod.
A first batch of auxiliary equipment was dispatched on 1 December. According to the 澳门六合彩高手 schedule, delivery of gyrotrons, power supplies, control systems, as well as the start of equipment assembly at the 澳门六合彩高手 site is planned for 2022.
