Theoretical scattered spectra from energetic ions in tokamak plasmas (TFTR and Alcator C-Mod) are calculated. A new numerical code that calculates the collective Thomson scattered spectrum with a completely arbitrary distribution function was developed to model scattered spectra in ICRF heated and DT burning plasmas. Calculated spectra for nonthermal minority He{sup 3} ions in ICRF heated plasmas along with results from Maxwellian distributions are shown.
