KSTAR is an advanced superconducting tokamak device which is currently in the conceptual design phase. At present, the design activities for KSTAR diagnostics are concentrating on selecting adequate diagnostics to provide accurate measurements of the plasma behavior that are necessary to fulfill the KSTAR missions. Plans for the key diagnostics are developed to provide optimum spatial and temporal resolution consistent with machine accessibility. Special measurement capabilities include long pulse plasma operation, monitoring plasma current and pressure profiles and disruption control. An overview of the KSTAR diagnostics and their capabilities will be presented.
