Abstract
Scintillators, which are more tolerant of neutrons or γ-rays than semiconductors, are a promising candidate for soft X-ray (SX) diagnostics in high neutron flux environments such as JT-60SA or ITER. Although scintillators are tolerant of radiations, neutrons and γ-rays can cause scintillation light and become noise on SX signals. Therefore, a method to estimate the temporal effect by the radiations on SX signals and an appropriate design of the radiation shield based on the estimation are required. In previous studies, it has been proposed for estimating the effect by the radiations to calculate the absorption powers due to SXs, neutrons, and γ-rays in scintillators assuming that amplitudes of scintillation light are proportional to the absorption powers. In this study, an experimental examination of this proposal is conducted in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). It is shown that the proposal may be valid in the examination of EAST. In addition to results in EAST, initial results of a multi-channel scintillator-based SX diagnostic in the Large Helical Device (LHD) are introduced. Although a scintillator-based SX diagnostic in LHD observes oscillations of SXs by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomena successfully, the observed temporal effect on SX signals by neutrons or γ-rays is more significant than the expected effect, which is estimated by calculating the absorption powers. One of the possible reasons for the contradiction between the results in EAST and LHD is unexpected γ-rays around the scintillators in LHD. Although the temporal effect by the radiations is significant in the current system of LHD, the degradation of amplitudes of SX signals after the deuterium plasma experiments is not observed with the current level of the fluence. The scintillator-based SX diagnostic in LHD may work as a diagnostic to research MHD instabilities in deuterium plasma experiments without additional maintenance during an experimental campaign by making the pinhole larger or setting an additional radiation shield.

Abstract
A high speed tangentially viewing vacuum ultraviolet telescope system has been developed in the Large Helical Device (LHD), with the aim of investigating edge MHD activities. The spatial structure of low frequency (~0.75 kHz) MHD activity with poloidal∕toroidal mode numbers of m∕n = 1∕1 has been measured with this diagnostic.
