Hosted by EFDA-JET Task Force Fusion Technology, JET Culham Science Centre – UK

Objectives of the meeting:

1. To present ITER needs and requirements in the field of radiological characterization of radwaste drums;
2. To review the status of art of available or under development methods to measure tritium in waste drums and possibly to identify method/s that could be used by ITER in the future;
3. To obtain feedback in T characterization and method industrialization by nuclear industries.

All presentations and main findings of the meeting can be downloaded here.

The originally on April 21, 2010 planned meeting had to be postponed on the grounds of the eruption of Eyjafjöll. This meeting gave firms the opportunity to meet and interact in the morning and receive instructions from F4E in the afternoon.

Main characteristics and requirements for the first wall blanket can be found in the following presentation. F4E has produced a consolidated mapping of companies interested in contributing to the blanket.

As a complement to the ongoing Call for Tenders “F4E-2010-OPE-068 (MS-VV) Supply of 7 Vacuum Vessels Sectors – Negotiated Procedure”, F4E organized an Information Day to inform Material Suppliers on requirements for ITER. Required documentation can be found here.

Following this meeting, the Swiss ILO prepared a summary of national competencies available for ITER. Foreign companies are encouraged to contact with preference the companies listed here. Similarly, Swiss companies are encouraged to search partnerships with the qualified consortia.

What are the F4E procurement rules? What will be the procurement process for ITER’s Heating and Current Drive Power Supplies? How does the process work?

These questions and others were discussed during F4E’s first thematic meeting presenting the European procurement packages for ITER Heating and Current Drive Power Supplies and their associated procurement strategy.

The ITER plant systems, including their control and instrumentation (C&I), will be delivered in-kind by the seven domestic agencies. To ensure conformity, and ease integration with the centrally-provided ITER-CODAC, the ITER-IO will prescribe the hardware and software that may be used to build the C&I subsystems. This takes the form of the “Plant Control Design Handbook” (PCDH) (ITER-D-27LH2V v3.0) which has just appeared in its first official release, with much to be decided and finalized. The next, much more complete release is expected to be issued at the end of 2008.

Fusion for Energy (F4E), the organisation for Europe’s contribution to ITER, is keen in offering constructive criticism of the PCDH to the ITER International Organisation in a timely manner and that the experts in C&I and also those involved in building the plant systems have the opportunity to contribute to this process.

During the meeting a presentation on the PCDH was given by ITER-IO which was followed by a discussion. With regards to hardware, software and procurement issues please see the “Working Group Summaries”. On the second day, F4E presented its procurement strategy and four “case studies”. The working groups concluded with summary presentations.
