abstract = {In JET with ITER-like wall (JET-ILW), the first wall was
changed to metallic materials (tungsten and beryllium) [1]
which require a reliable protection system to avoid damage
of the plasma-facing components (PFCs) due to beryllium
melting or cracking of tungsten owing to thermal fatigue. To
address this issue, a protection system with real time
control, based on imaging diagnostics, has been implemented
on JET-ILW in 2011.This paper describes the design,
implementation, and operation of the near infrared imaging
diagnostic system of the JET-ILW plasma experiment and its
integration into the existing JET-ILW protection
architecture. The imaging system comprises eleven analogue
CCD cameras which demonstrate a high robustness against
changes of system parameters like the emissivity. The system
covers about two thirds of the main chamber wall and almost
half of the divertor. A real-time imaging processing unit is
used to convert the raw data into surface temperatures
taking into account the different emissivity for the various
materials and correcting for artefacts resulting e.g. from
neutron impact. Regions of interest (ROI) on the selected
PFCs are analysed in real time and the maximum temperature
measured for each ROI is sent to other real time systems to
trigger an appropriate response of the plasma control
system, depending on the location of a hot spot.A hot spot
validation algorithm was successfully integrated into the
real-time system and is now used to avoid false alarms
caused by neutrons and dust. The design choices made for the
video imaging system, the implications for the hardware
components and the calibration procedure are discussed. It
will be demonstrated that the video imaging protection
system can work properly under harsh electromagnetic
conditions as well as under neutron and gamma radiation.
Examples will be shown of instances of hot spot detection
that abort the plasma discharge. The limits of the
protection system and the associated constraints on plasma
operation are also presented.The real-time protection system
has been operating routinely since 2011. During this period,
less than $0.5\%$ of the terminated discharges were aborted
by a malfunction of the system. About $2\%–3\%$ of the
discharges were terminated due to the detection of actual
hot spots.},
