Toroidicity Alfv&#233;n Eigenmodes (TAE) in ITER can be driven unstable by two groups of energetic particles, the 3.5MeV &alpha;-particle fusion products and the tangentially injected 1MeV beam ions. Stability conditions are established using the perturbative NOVA/NOVA-K codes. A quasi-linear diffusion model is then used to assess the induced redistribution of energetic particles.
