  3. INTERNATIONAL THERMO-NUCLEAR EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR (ITER) ITER is “one of its kind”, and it will be the first biggest nuclear fusion facility to be licensed in cadarache, France. • Major systems includes…….. • Super conducting Magnets (CS,PF &TF) • Vacuum Vessel (plasma chamber) • First wall (Blanket modules, Divertor cassettes,Limiters etc.) • Cryostat,VVPSS & Thermal shields • Vacuum Pumping systems • Heating & current drive systems • Diagnostics • Cryoplant & Cryodistribution • Cooling water system • Tritium plant • Power supplies • CODAC Fusion Power: 500 MW Plasma Volume: 840 m3 Nominal Plasma Current: 15 MA Typical Density: 1020 m-3 ITER construction is multidimensional, multicultural and spread across many time zones 3

  5. ITER Cryostat System Cryostat WSFT-IPR-Gandhinagar.

  6. Cryostat System Functions • Cryostat shall form a vacuum tight container, surrounding the entire Tokamak Basic Machine. It shall provide the vacuum for the super-conducting magnets, and shall form part of the secondary confinement barrier for radioactive inventory inside VV. The cryostat shall include overpressure protection for itself. • Cryostat allows passive removal of decay heat, from VV & In vessel components. • Cryostat has penetrations for magnet feeders, water cooling pipes, instrumentation feed-through, cryostat pumping systems etc. • Cryostat has penetrations for access to the VV ports (45 ports). • Cryostat has penetrations for access, for maintenance equipment, into the cryostat. • Cryostat has penetrations for access to the CS & PF coil, for possible removal. • Cryostat shall transfer all the loads that derive from the tokamak basic machine, & from the cryostat itself, to the floor of the tokamak pit through its support structures (during the normal & off-normal operational regimes, and at specified accidental conditions). WSFT-IPR-Gandhinagar.

  7. Cryostat System configuration • Cryostat is a cylindrical pressure vessel, with its axis vertical, and with a flat bottom and a tori-spherical top. • The maximum diameter of the outer cylindrical part shall be ~ 29 m. • The diameter of outer cylindrical part shall reduce to ~19 m below the VV divertor ports. • These two cylinders of different diameters shall be connected to a horizontal ring, which shall be the platform to cater for the TF magnets and the vacuum vessel. • The horizontal ring shall be supported by 18 pillars installed on the pit floor. • The port penetrations shall be connected to VV port ducts and bioshield port cells by metallic bellows to compensate all relative movements. • Cryostat bottom end shall be just above the pit floor level. • Cryostat shall be connected to vacuum pumps and the vacuum monitoring system.
