Abstract
Heat fluxes considerably larger than anticipated appear to be incident on the lateral protection of the TORE SUPRA ion Cyclotron Range of Fr equencies (ICRF) antennas. The antenna lateral protection shows overhe ating for ICRF power levels greater than 2 MW in dipole mode or 1 MW i n monopole mode. A possible cause for overheating is a DC sheath volta ge created on the antenna structure by the ICRF.
