The spectral distribution of plasma EC radiation is particularly important to consider in millimeter-wave diagnostics, namely for high- and low-magnetic-field side reflectometry, plasma position reflectometry, and collective Thomson scattering diagnostic, because the transmission lines of these diagnostics yield the transport of EC waves emitted by the plasma. The development of semi-analytical methods used to describe the spectral distribution of plasma-generated EC radiation in tokamaks, starting from the work of S. Tamor, is based on the dominance of multiple reflections of this radiation from the first wall in a toroidal axially symmetric vacuum chamber. Here, we present calculations using the CYNEQ code of the spectral intensity of the EC radiation emerging from the plasma to the first wall and port plugs for five scenarios of ITER operation. This code uses the symmetry-based effect of approximate isotropy and homogeneity of radiation intensity in a substantial part of the phase space and has been successfully tested by comparison with first-principles codes. The energy flux density in the range of 30\u2013200 kW\/m2 is predicted for wall reflectance in the range of 0.6\u20130.95. The possible effect of this radiation on in-vessel components and diagnostics is assessed by calculating the surface density of the energy absorbed by various materials of the ITER first wall.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15010118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T02:12:48Z","timestamp":1672625568000},"page":"118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Spectral Intensity of Electron Cyclotron Radiation Emerging from the Plasma to the First Wall in ITER"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Pavel V.","family":"Minashin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, 123182 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5780-1584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander B.","family":"Kukushkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, 123182 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute), 115409 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, National Research University, 141700 Dolgoprudny, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"642","DOI":"10.1088\/0029-5515\/45\/7\/012","article-title":"Importance of electron cyclotron wave energy transport in ITER","volume":"45","author":"Albajar","year":"2005","journal-title":"Nucl.
