Abstract. The development of diagnostics for a next step burning plasma
device (BPX) will be a major challenge. Within the International Tokamak
Physics Activities, a Topical Group (TG) specialises in diagnostics and aims
to support the development of the needed systems. The work of the group
includes the identification and development of the requirements for
measurements, advising on the selection and design of techniques and on
their implementation on BPXs, and development of appropriate
databases. Several tasks have been identified as ‘high priority' and
form the focus of current work. In the paper the work on the determination
of the measurement requirements will be summarised, the progress with the
high priority research topics will be outlined, and the work of Specialists
Working Groups, which work on specific topics entirely in the electronic
domain, will be summarised.
