Decommission phase(1) 1. De-activation Removal of mobilizable tritium and dust from the machine using available techniques & equipment. Removal and deactivation of coolants. Classification and packaging of active, contaminated and toxic material. Removal of all the in-vessel components.OPTION 1: removal of ex-vessel components (if not done in phase 2). Duration: 5 years.
Decommission phase(2) THE ITER FACILITY IS HANDED OVER TO AN ORGANIZATION AT THE HOST COUNTRYRESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMPLETION OF DECOMMISSIONING Radioactivity decay period The vacuum vessel radioactivity is left to decay to a level which allows extraction of vessel sectors into the tokamak building (during phase 2) for size reduction & disposal. No site activities are required except security and monitorin Duration :A few decade years
Decommission phase(3) Final Dismantling & Disposal removal of vacuum vessel sectors and their size reduction by remote/semi-remote operationsOPTION 2: removal of ex-vessel components (if not done in phase 1) classification & packaging of active, contaminated and toxic material . Duration: 6 years
