New high power CW test facilities for ITER ICRH components testing

First CW test bed, devoted for ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH), is being built at CEA Cadarache. It has been designed for testing the ICRH antenna sub assemblies under ITER relevant conditions (vacuum, cooling and RF).This paper presents a technical overview of these facilities and discusses their future operations in the framework of the ITER ICRH European R&D program.
