Abstract
Diagnostics play a very important role in the modern Tokamak where optimum performance is essential. To achieve this, the device must be equipped with reliable and robust sensors and instrumentation that allow the operation envelope to be fully explored. Development of these diagnostics to maintain this reliability is necessary. Further to the development, the systems must be integrated in a way that maintains their performance while simultaneously satisfying the key requirements needed for safety and tokamak operation. ITER will have 50 diagnostics; almost all of which are utilized primarily for the real-time operation of the tokamak. While there is still much work to do, to date, significant progress has been made in the development of these systems. The work load for the developments is shared across all the ITER partners. This paper focuses on the challenges for the integration of the systems.
