Abstract
Here we re-evaluate the stray radiation loads due to electron cyclotron resonance heating and diagnostic gyrotrons in ITER, as well as compute the stray radiation energy flux due to electron cyclotron emission. Microwave loads due to stray radiation were assessed in the past. We give here more comprehensive estimates, including spatial variations in the machine. We show that for the start-up phase in the First Plasma campaign the threshold of 100 kW/m2, which diagnostics have to be able to withstand, is not exceeded. For the later campaigns, the stray radiation energy flux during start-up and burnthrough will exceed 450 kW/m2. Stray radiation from electron cyclotron emission and from a diagnostic 60 GHz gyrotron can contribute to more than 140 kW/m2 combined.
