  2. ITER is the Next Step Toward a Solution based on Tokamaks

  3. SST-1: R =1.1m, 0.22MA, 2008 Four New Superconducting Tokamaks will Address Steady-State Advanced Tokamak Issues in Non-Burning Plasmas EAST: R = 1.7m, 2MA, 2006 JT-60SA: R = 3m, 5.5 MA, 2014 KSTAR: R = 1.8m, 2MA, 2008

  4. RF CN European Union KO JP IN US ITER – Key Facts • Mega-Science Project among 7 Members: • China, EU, India, Japan, Korea, Russia & US • Designed to produce 500 MW of fusion power for an extended period of time with a Q of 10 • 10 years construction, 20 years operation • Cost:~5.4 billion Euros approved for construction, and ~5.5 billion for operation and decommissioning • EU 5/11, other six parties 1/11 each. Overall reserve of 10% of total.

  5. Procurement Sharing - A unique feature of ITER is that almost all of the machine will be constructed through in kind procurement from the Members with essentially every member involved in every component.

  6. Overview of the Major Development of the ITER Project

  7. ITER Organization Structure Tim Watson

  8. Staffing Status By 31 December 2009, the ITER Organization had a total of 430 staff members, comprising 291 professional and 139 technical support staff members. In addition, as of end of 2009 there were around 330 external contractors.

  9. ITER - a multicultural organization 25 nationalities

  10. The ITER Organization and the ITER Domestic Agencies

  11. Integration between IO and DAs- Basic Roles and Responsibilities - * Depending on type of specification - Functional: Functional requirements by IO and design by DAs - Detail design: Conceptual design by IO and detailed design by DAs - Build-to-print: Detailed design by IO and fabrication/shop design by DAs

  12. Main Buildings on the ITER Site A facility licensed under the French Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ASN) PF Coils winding Tokamak Cryoplant Tritium Magnet power convertor Cooling towers Hot cell • Will cover an area of about 60 ha • Large buildings up to 250m long • Large number of systems Main Office Control

  13.

Thermal Shield (4 sub-assemblies) Toroidal Field Coils (18) (Nb3Sn) Vacuum Vessel (9 sectors) Poloidal Field Coils (6) (NbTi) In-Vessel Coils (2-VS & 27-ELM) Correction Coils (18) (NbTi) Blanket (440 modules) Divertor (54 cassettes) Feeders (31) (NbTi) Machine mass: 23350 t (cryostat + VV + magnets) - shielding, divertor and manifolds: 7945 t + 1060 port plugs - magnet systems: 10150 t; cryostat:  820 t

  14. Magnet Energy Comparison Superconducting Magnet Energy: ~51 GJ Charles de Gaulle Energy: ~38000 t at ~150 km/hr

  15. TF Coil – Mass Comparison Boeing 747-300 (Maximum Takeoff Weight) ~377 t Mass of (1) TF Coil: ~360 t 16 m Tall x 9 m Wide

  19. 34 signed Procurement Arrangements as of 16 March 2010

  20. Procurement Arrangements (PAs) • As of 18 March 2010, there are a total of 34 signed PAs, amounting to 1243.37844 kIUA (approximately EUR 1,900 million), about 41% of the total in-kind PA value; • 19 PAs are scheduled to be signed by August 2010 for a total of 776.453 kIUA (an estimated EUR 1,186 million).

  25. The IO works towards finalizing a full set of baseline documents by the end April (scope, schedule, cost); Scope is set in 2008. Schedule agreed as working basis in March 2010; Resource loading of IPS for the IO is ongoing; The acceptance of the ITER baseline towards a commonly agreed upon schedule is a huge step forward, since every party is committed to a common plan. What is Next?

  26. Present ITER Construction Site Future Tokamak Complex JWS 2 JWS 3 The creation and improvement of 106 kilometres of access roads from Fos harbour to Cadarache will be finished by February 2010. 1

Alternative Confinement Schemes Commercial Power Plants

  29. Summary • It took almost four years to re-baseline ITER and have a common understanding of the real cost of ITER. In the parties and for the IO. • The baseline decision by Council in June 2010 will set the real trigger for all countries to now move at the same pace. • We still have lots of things to improve, technically, managerially and also in interfacing with industry partners.

  30. ITER Licensing Process • Accordance with French regulations ITER is a “basic nuclear facility” (Installation Nucléaire de Base, INB) e.g. labs, fuel plants, not fission reactors. Compliance with international standards of safety (IAEA) • Licensing process: • Safety options report submitted and reviewed 2002 • Series of informal technical meetings with the authorities (ASN) and their technical advisors (IRSN), 2006 – 2008. • License application documents were submitted January 2008 • Request for authorisation (Demande d’Autorisation de Création, DAC), including Impact Study • Preliminary Safety Report (Rapport Préliminaire de Sûreté, RPrS) • Examination of files submitted in January 2008 • Authorities (ASN & IRSN) reviewed our files for acceptability • In July 2008, they requested detailed additional information in the files • DAC and RPrS are now being updated, for re-submission in 2010 • Next: Public Enquiry. Then examination by panel of independent experts (Groupe Permanent) to advise ASN.

  31. Current status (October 2009) • All RPrS chapters and Impact Study are in first draft • Some require completion with the outcome of safety analyses in progress, or design information from baseline documents to be fixed • Many annexe documents completed • Translation into French under way • Reviews of RPrS to be held October – December, by technical ROs, Safety Control Division (“second level” check), and in review including external experts - English version to be finalized by end of 2009 • Translation in French and final checking • Submission expected end of February 2010 • Should lead to issue of decree allowing “creation” of facility. • Further processes will follow to obtain authorisation for commissioning and start-up.
