TBM Mockup testing at SNL ITER-TBM Planning and Costing Meeting Dec 12-14, 2005, UCLA Presented by Tina J. Tanaka
Task List • Integrated test of FW with He cooling • Upgrade He loop to get more pressure, higher temperatures, and greater flow. • Procure ½ scale test articles • Perform test with E-beam and He cooling for DCLL • Overpressure test • Note that Neil Morley suggested that we add a PbLi flow test--an item for discussion • A full size mockup should be made by the Vendor who is makes the final item 12/12/05 slide 2
Costing Exercise • Major costs will be in upgrading the helium loop to new pressure and temperature requirements (~$2.66M, but this estimate may be low). We really need a full design and then make a cost estimate. • Full design can be made by Creare for $10K. This company designed our first He loop • Comparisons with KFK He loop show that we may be somewhat low on the costs, but we have not done a full design. • We have requested help on He estimation from Clement as he has a contractor working on this. 12/12/05 slide 3
Questions and Unknowns • Funding • Our work has been on hold for over a month because of the budget • To get an estimate for upgrading our He loop, we may need to contract this out. Thus we do not have a good estimate for this at this time. • We should collaborate with the Europeans at Karlsruhe Germany to test the first wall with He cooling. • Do we need full size PbLi test? 12/12/05 slide 4
