Abstract
The comparative study of working characteristics of some graphite and metallic components of SHF diagnostics, such as several kinds of anten nae, plane reflectors and cylindrical waveguides are presented. To sim ulate the consequence of a plasma disruption in large tokamaks on grap hite-made antenna, we tested two antennae (MPG and ARV kinds of graphi te) on the influence of power plasma flow: W greater than or equal to 1.10 MJ/m(2) with the time duration Delta t approximate to 0.1 ms. All results show that the prospects to use graphite elements in a reactor -scale fusion device are rather promising.
