Operating frequencies presently range from UHF to 60 GHz, while future machines will operate at frequencies of 2 to 200 GHz with installed heating capacities of tens of megawatts. These requirements can be met with klystrons for frequencies from 1 to 20 GHz and with gyrotrons for 20 to 200 GHz.This paper presents details of existing klystrons and gyrotrons in plasma heating service. Design and performance information is presented for the VKS-8269A and VKC-7849 klystrons which provide 500 kW at 2.45 GHz and 250 kW at 4.6 GHz, respectively. Similar information is provided for the VGA-8050A and VGE-8060A gyrotrons which provide 200 kW at 28 and 60 GHz.The capabilities of klystrons and gyrotrons as a source of microwave power are reviewed.

It has many potential uses, which include production of central station electricity, fuel for fission reactors, synthetic fuels, and process heat for such applications as desalination of sea water.

According to the conditions of thermal evacuation chosen, for example convection, its heating is either stable or unstable. For some materials, a critical temperature can be defined which represents an upper limit beyond which the heating is unstable whatever the convective heat transfers. The optimal conditions which can be obtained through the use of an automatic regulation of the heating are, as a consequence, determined.

Early efforts in bioengineering and biophysics before and after World War II, Work after World War II (1950s), Early interest in hazards, Soviet work and The Tri-Service area and ANSI. The author concludes that the historical development of biophysics and bioengineering, both as a whole and in the specialty area of nonionizing radiation, proceeded in a fairly rational fashion. Formulation of exposure standards in the West was based on the biophysical approach, which prevails in the interdisciplinary sciences involving biomedical and engineering disciplines. No pressure by an \"industrial-military establishment\" was evident in the quest for standards, and the Soviet approach and work were under surveillance from the late 1950's. A continuous interest in athermal effects has persisted since the 1930's. Historical accounts are based on personal experience and study of the literature. They are therefore limited to the extent that such experience and study is incomplete.
