  2. Motivations Since the detailed design of many diagnostics and heating and current drive systems is still an ongoing process, it is important to provide the designers of such systems the appropriate information for the choice of the materials to be used. In addition, inputs from the designers are needed in case tests of new materials and component are required. Therefore a Ceramic Irradiation Database is of primary importance for the ongoing design of ITER diagnostics. The Ceramic Irradiation Database aims to provide: - reference to the results of the EFDA Ceramic Irradiation Programme - a searchable repository of documents - a searchable database suitable for designer of diagnostics and H&CD systems

  6. Ceramic Material Database • The Ceramic Irradiation Database should: • 1. provide the designers diagnostic and H&CD systems information on the • different physical properties of irradiation tested materials and components, • 2. provide the basis for the request of the testing of new materials and • components or testing to higher dose rates and doses and different • conditions, • 3. form the basis of a cross-party database of irradiation effects on • materials and components • 4. form the basis of a database for irradiation tested materials and • components throughout ITER lifetime for use in the design of diagnostics • for the next generation of burning plasma devices. In addition it should provide tools for: 1. the input, 2. access (query/search) and 3. management of documents and data.

  7. Plan for the database development • Provided an EU laboratory can be found to take on the task of developing the database, the following steps are foreseen as part of a task that will be initiated soon: • Discuss with radiation-effects experts the kind of information that is available and relevant (irradiation and measurement conditions for example). • Discussion with the designers of the ITER diagnostics, as potential users of the database, to assess what information is required by them. • Development of the database structure and content that best fits the requirements and constraints. How the experimental caveats on conditions and results in the database can be dealt with should get special attention  next page. • Choice of the appropriate software tools to guarantee the maximum compatibility (Excel and/or SQL server for example) and database access (such as Web based access tools to the database). • Set up of the database with sufficient flexibility for expansion for potential future requirements (e.g. full data storage for QA). • Development of appropriate tools for the database data input, edit, query and management according.

  8. Functionality and issues • Three levels of functionality are foreseen: • Store information from experiments in a searchable form • Prepare reports on status of experimental information for a particular material/property/components (such as the summary tables shown above) • Provide a facility to ask questions such as “to what radiation level is this material radiation hard ?” and “What suitable material exists for a particular application?” This level is very challenging and will only be attempted on a best-effort basis. • Issues: • How to populate the database? Should be by the producers of the data. • How to moderate the data input? • Overseeing of future improvements? • How to turn it into a cross-party facility?
