In the framework of the development of the ITER neutral beam (NB) system, a test facility is planned to be built in Padova. A full size prototype of the ITER heating NB injector (MITICA) shall be built and tested at full beam power (17 MW) as per ITER requirements. The design of the MITICA beam source has further progressed following updated optimization and overall integration criteria. In the paper, the major design choices and revisions are presented, together with some results of numerical analyses carried out in order to assess the electrostatic and thermo-mechanical behaviour of the source.
在国际热核聚变实验堆（ITER）中性束（NB）系统的研发框架下，计划在帕多瓦建造一个测试设施。ITER加热中性束注入器（MITICA）的全尺寸原型将按照ITER的要求，在全束功率（17兆瓦）下进行建造和测试。遵循更新后的优化和整体集成标准，MITICA束源的设计取得了进一步进展。本文介绍了主要的设计选择和修订内容，以及为评估该源的静电和热机械行为而进行的一些数值分析结果。
