A new technique for wall conditioning with a high toroidal magnetic field h
as been developed on HT-7 superconducting tokamak by launching ion cyclotro
n resonant wave (ICRF) into plasmas. The RF wall conditioning techniques in
clude hydrogen removal, isotopic and impurity control, boronization and sil
iconization, which have been proved to be very effective and could be routi
nely used in daily experiments. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
