The long term strategy of the EU in the field of gyrotrons in fusion plasma applications is based on two approaches: an R&D in laboratories to develop advanced concepts and industrial development of state of the art tubes for use in present experiments like TCV, Tore Supra (118 GHz, 0.5 MW-CW) and W7-X (140 GHz, 1 MW, CW). The results from these two approaches are then applied to the development of a coaxial cavity gyrotron operating at 170 GHz and delivering 2 MW-CW for the electron cyclotron wave system of ITER. The paper recalls the main achievements of this program and outlines the present status of the 170 GHz gyrotron development.
