MEASUREMENT OF FIRST WALL AND DIVERTOR REGION SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE KTM TOKAMAK USING IR THERMOMETRY METHODS

The paper presents the results of the first measurements of the heating temperature of the walls of the vacuum chamber on the KTM tokamak using non-contact methods during plasma discharges. The technical features and placement of the IR diagnostics used in the KTM tokamak are presented. The first experimental results of measuring the heating temperature of the graphite elements of the first wall of the KTM are demonstrated, which showed the operability of the diagnostics under KTM conditions.
