First stage of neutral beam heating system was developed at the GOL-3 facility. Configuration of magnetic field and initial gas distribution were adopted for operation with NBI system. As a result the neutral beam with 0.5 MW power and 0.8 ms pulse duration was achieved and stable regimes suitable for beam injection experiments were found. The neutral beam system was used in first experiment as diagnostic tool for measuring the plasma density. Dynamics of plasma density and its radial distribution were studied in experiments.
