It is shown that ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) waves can induce fast convective radial transport of energetic ions in a tokamak geometry without affecting the background ion transport. Poloidally inhomogeneous ICRF waves with directional parallel wave vectors are needed; otherwise, a new parallel flow of the energetic ions has to be present.
