“…While more than 30 additional plants are under construction and millions of tons of highly radioactive materials produced by civilian and military installations have no safe storage facility, the International Atomic Energy Agency refuses to act as a global 'nuclear safety watchdog'. 74 As laboratories for basic research, nuclear reactors and search algorithms remind us, the politics of expertise around LTSs are deeply embedded in processes of global governance. But they also arise from the very knowledge that makes LTSs…”

The Global Governance of Large Technical Systems

The importance of technology in global affairs is visible to the naked and uninitiated eye. Yet International Relations (IR) still lacks a more systematic and critical attention to the role of technological infrastructures in contemporary global governance dynamics. Here, we seek to prompt IR scholars to move 'large technical systems' (LTSs) from the contours of IR narratives to a centre stage, as they hold the potential to respond to pressing challenges for IR scholarship. Employing LTSs to respond to recent publications on the challenge that 'global governance' poses to IR, we highlight that an STS-IR encounter can, first, revitalise 'grand questions' at the heart of IR and, second, help coping with the complexity of global governance. While this encounter does not offer a ready-tailored panacea for the troubles of IR, a more systematic inquiry into LTSs is a powerful step beyond theoretical and methodological impasses, towards greater inter-disciplinary collaboration.

“…There are two sets of ICRH antenna designed for the EAST tokamak, which are located at the ports B and I, respectively. The ICRH antenna at the port B, which is discussed in this paper, will provide 3-6 MW of power for long-pulse (more than 1000 s) steady-state operation in the future [3]. The antenna is mainly composed of a Faraday shield (FS), lateral limiters, current straps, a vacuum transmission line (VTL), and a vacuum feedthrough, as shown in figure 1.…”

The ion cyclotron resonance of frequency heating (ICRH) plays an important role in plasma heating. Two ICRH antennas were designed and applied on the EAST tokamak. In order to meet the requirement imposed by high-power and long-pulse operation of EAST in the future, an active cooling system is mandatory to be designed to remove the heat load deposited on the components. Thermal analyses for high heat-load components have been carried out, which presented clear temperature distribution on each component and provided the reference data to do the optimization. Meanwhile, heat pipes were designed to satisfy the high requirement imposed by a Faraday shield and lateral limiter.
