  1. ITER welcomes EPICSWD KlotzITER int. Organiztion That’s me

  2. ITER – a Global Challenge • „The stakes are considerable, not to say vital for our planet.“ Manuel Barroso, Former President of the European Commission

  3. Fusion powers the sun and the stars“…Prometheus steals fire from the heaven” • Essentially limitless fuel, available all over the world • No greenhouse gases • Intrinsic safety • No long-lived radioactive waste • Large-scale energy production On Earth, fusion could provide:

  4. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O + 5.5 eV (chemical) 41H + 2e --> 4He + 2 + 6  + 26.7 MeV (solar process) The Fusion Reaction on Earth“... is not the same as in the Sun“ + 3.5 MeV + 14.1 MeV

  5. Why D-T: Cross section

  6. Fusion Fuel Raw fuel of a fusion reactor is water and lithium* Lithium in one laptop battery + half a bath-full of ordinary water (-> one egg cup full of heavy water) 200,000 kW-hours = (current UK electricity production)/(population of the UK) for 30 years *Deuterium/hydrogen = 1/6700 +tritium from: neutron (from fusion) + lithium  tritium + helium

  7. Basic Principle of Stable Motion of Ions in Magnetically confined Plasma

  8. Progress in fusion performance ITER Reactor conditions

  9. Major technical elements of ITER Nb3Sn-SC Be- S/Steel S/Steel Nb3Sn-SC NbTi-SC CFC-W-S/Steel film

  10. ITER Tokamak – Mass Comparison Charles de Gaulle mass: ~38000 t(empty) 856 ft (261 m) long (Commissioned 2001) ITER Machine mass: ~23000 t 28 m diameter x 29 m tall

  11. Vacuum Vessel Mass Comparison VV & In-vessel components mass:~8000 t 19.4 m outside diameter x 11.3 m tall Eiffel Tower mass:~7300 t 324 m tall (Completed 1889)

  12. TF Coil – Mass Comparison Mass of (1) TF Coil: ~360 t 16 m Tall x 9 m Wide D8 Caterpillar Bulldozer ~35 t

  13. Cryostat Size Comparison ITER Cryostat ~28 m Tall x 29 m Wide Jefferson Memorial (Washington DC) ~29 m Tall (floor to top of dome)

  14. EPICS for ITER Decision taken about 16 month ago Consequences: • We have to convince and sell to achieve acceptance • We don’t have very much time …

  17. EPICS for ITER Decision taken about 16 month ago Consequences: • We have to convince and sell to achieve acceptance • We don’t have very much time … • We have to learn from the community to use it the good way • We have to show ITER to the community • We organized the spring collaboration meeting 2010 in AIX • We are happy to have received: • 113 registrations • 52 affiliations • 9 companies • 33 contributions

  18. Collaboration Collaborating means taking and giving • Giving • ITER surely will contribute to the community • We could become an active contributor to CSS and an OO service layer • Today ITER disseminates EPICS to the fusion community • … more to come • Taking • For a fast start up we take what the community has produced • …and we thank the community for giving us this possibility Having said that …

  19. Enjoy the Meeting !
