The challenges of heating and diagnosing ITER fall into two groups: (i) The environmental issues associated with neutron irradiation, tritium confinement and remote handling; and (ii) The technical challenges associated with the individual systems. In the case of the heating systems these include extending pulse durations to the order of one hour, RAMI requirements and the extension of negative ion neutral beam injection to 1MV. For diagnostics, the environment makes access difficult, first mirrors suffer from both erosion and deposition and machine control places stringent requirements that have required specific R&D. These challenges and their solutions will be described.
