The PDX Neutral Beam Injection System consists of four beamlines of basic PLT injector design with changes primarily related to the containment of increased beam power and pulse length. The beams are driven by four ORNL developed duopigatron ion sources rated at 50 kilovolts and delivering 1.5 megawatts H/degree/or 2 megawatts D/degree/each to the PDX target plasma. The early attainment of 8 megawatts of D/degree/injected into the PDX was due to thorough conditioning of each ion source by ORNL prior to delivery coupled with several field design changes and improvements made as a result of injector experience on the PLT.
