| Abstract | The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond window unit acts as a confinement barrier in the ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive (EC H&CD) system allowing transmission of mm-wave beams between 1 and 2 MW at the same time [1, 2]. The window units are components attached to the waveguides (WGs) which are connected to the Upper Launcher (UL) and thus to the Tokamak Vacuum Vessel (VV) from one side and to the Tokamak building from the other side. As a consequence during an earthquake, beyond an inertial effect, there is also a kinematic effect to be taken into account for the unit. The inertial effect is related to the seismic vibration of the component while the kinematic one refers to the relative displacement between the VV and the building. The window unit has the most stringent ITER safety and vacuum classifications [3] and so a seismic analysis is required in order to check its resistance against the earthquakes. |
