Abstract The calorimetric system of ITER is designed to measure the time-integrated fusion power output tokamak by analyzing thermal flows and calculating energy balance. While too slow for real-time control, its high accuracy essential cross-calibrating fast neutron sensors. Implementing this in challenging due machine's complexity, but reactor core’s enclosure within cryostat offers significant opportunity increase compared existing tokamaks.
This paper assesses ITER's entire error...
