The status of gyrotrons developed by Varian for fusion heating applications will be briefly reviewed. Development work started in 1976 with the goal of 200 kW CW at 28 GHz. A more recent program was to develop 200 kW CW at 60 GHz. Pulsed and CW tubes produced by these programs will be briefly described and the scaling of these designs to other frequencies including 53, 56 and 70 GHz will be discussed. A 35 GHz design will also be described. Future efforts for gyrotrons at 120 and 140 GHz will also be discussed.
