    Abstract

    DTU and IST 2 are partners in the design of a collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) diagnostics for ITER through a contract with F4E. The CTS diagnostic utilizes probing radiation of ~60 GHz emitted into the plasma and, using a mirror, collects the scattered radiation by an array of receivers. Having a direct and unshielded view to the plasma, the first mirror will be subject to significant radiation and among the first tasks in the CTS design, is to determine whether the mirror will need active cooling.
    At present the CTS is in the conceptual design phase and the related neutronics calculations focus on supplying input which affect the system design.
    Examples include:
    - Heatloads on plasma facing mirrors and preliminary stress and thermal analysis
    - Port plug cooling requirements and it's dependence on system design (in particular blanket cut-out)
    - Shutdown dose-rate calculations (relative analysis, depending on system design choices)
