2. On May 24, 2006, the ITER International Agreement was initialed in Brussels by the Seven ITER Parties • The seven Parties: • Have judged sufficient scientific and technological readiness and benefits • Are committing 110% of the ITER value for construction (including reserve) • Have agreed on the hardware responsibilities of each party • Have developed organizational and legal arrangements for the ITER Legal Entity

3. Evolution of ITER Management • Selection of Senior Management: • Director General Nominee Kaname Ikeda • Principal Director General Nominee Norbert Holtkamp • Deputy Directors General have been selected and will be in Cadarache by autumn, 2006

7. US Contributions to ITER • The U.S. contribution to ITER is capped at $1.122B for construction. • This contribution will be roughly 80% “in-kind” and 20% “cash” – • In-kind contributions are hardware related components we build and provide to the ITER Organization, and people we second to the ITER Organization • Cash contributions include funds to pay for the US share of: • ITER Organization directly employed staff, • infrastructure expenses for all employees, • R&D during construction, • hardware installation costs, and • the ITER contingency fund. • The U.S. contribution during construction is 9.09% of the total cost. • The U.S. contribution during operations will be 13%.

11. U.S. ITER Project Accomplishments • Completion of appointments of key management staff of the US ITER Project Office (USIPO): • Ned Sauthoff, Project Manager • Carl Strawbridge, Deputy Project Manager • Brad Nelson, Engineering Manager • Jeff Geouque, Project Procurement Director • John Miller, Magnet Systems Team Leader • Jan Berry, Cooling Water Systems Team Leader • Charles Neumeyer, Electric Power Systems Team Leader • Dave Johnson, Diagnostics Team Leader • Mike Hechler, Blanket Shielding and Port Limiter Systems Team Leader • Dave Rasmussen, Vacuum Pumping and Fueling, Ion and Electron Cyclotron Systems Team Leader • Don Green, Tritium Plant Exhaust Processing Manager • Suzanne Herron, Project Controls Manager

12. U.S. ITER Project Accomplishments (Continued) • Revision of project documentation (preliminary cost, schedule ranges, acquisition strategy, etc.) in preparation for project cost reviews • Planning, interaction and coordination with the International ITER Organization on all project activities including: • the upcoming international design review, • nomination of potential seconded staff urgently needed by the ITER Organization, • determination and discussion about fulfillment of the FY2006/FY2007 task assignments

13. U.S. ITER Program Accomplishments • DOE has responded to all requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, including submission to Congress of: • ITER Agreement (120 days) • U.S. plan for participation in ITER (60 days) • Management structure--BPO to FESAC (120 days) • Method for funding ITER (60 days) • Circular-175 process -- initiated by the Department of State, has been cleared by DOE, and has received final approval from State • U.S. Burning Plasma Organization, which coordinates U.S. scientific activities for ITER is now fully engaged in ITER issues through the U.S. ITER Project Office

14. Next Steps for ITER • We are planning a November signing in Europe • After the Agreement is signed, we expect the U.S. ITER Project to move forward with assisting the ITER Organization with its design review, carrying out our 2007 task assignments, and preparing for initial procurements. • The Agreement will enter into force sometime after all the partners ratify or accept the Agreement. This could be as early as mid 2007.

15. The Bottom Line…. • The seven ITER parties are committed to build, operate and decommission ITER • The ITER International Agreement was initialed in May, and we expect to sign in November • Work is underway, with • R&D and design work and project planning now, • long-lead procurements planned to begin in 2007 and • construction starting in 2008. The world fusion community is excited about finally being able to study self-heated “burning” plasmas
