Abstract
The positive-ion based NBI system for JT-60 began operation in 1986 with hy drogen beam, and had injected the neutral beam power of 27 MW at 75 keV. Th e beam species has been changed to deuterium through changing the ion sourc es and beam-line components in 1991. The NBI has injected a deuterium beam of 40 MW at 96 keV in 1996. In 2000, the computer control system for the be am operation has been changed from a mini-computer to a workstation system in order to match a great variety of beam injection parameters, and the ope ration capability has greatly improved.
