What is Next? The IO works towards finalizing a full set of baseline documents by the end April (scope, schedule, cost); Scope is set in 2008. Schedule agreed as working basis in March 2010; Resource loading of IPS for the IO is ongoing; The acceptance of the ITER baseline towards a commonly agreed upon schedule is a huge step forward, since every party is committed to a common plan. 27
Present ITER Construction Site Future Tokamak Complex JWS 2 JWS 3 The creation and improvement of 106 kilometres of access roads from Fos harbour to Cadarache will be finished by February 2010. 1 28
Itinerary of ITER Components ITER Site THE objectives set out for ITER are basically two: ONE: to obtain and study a plasma where the alpha particle heating is dominating all other forms of heating. ITER will operate with a value of capital Q greater than 10. The fusion power in ITER will be about 500MW, the input power about 50MW. And TWO: it has to integrate the technology required for future use of fusion as an energy source
The Roadmap Beyond ITER upgrade, construction Operation Today’s expts. Des. Construction H D DT 2nd DT Op. Phase ITER Test/Optimise Blanket Design Construction Qualify DEMO Materials Optimise Materials IFMIF From present generation machine such as JET, in the roadmap to the fusion reactor, the ITER will be to demonstrate the physics base, however this will be done with a limited neutron fluence (about 3 dpa)., For the design and construction of the Demo, we must test and qualify materials up to 150 dpa. This will be done in the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility; ITER and IFMIF will provide the database for the construction of the DEMO reactor that will start producing electricity by 2035. Design Construction Initial Operation Reliability demo DEMO Concept Design Construction Op. Alternative Confinement Schemes Commercial Power Plants
Summary It took almost four years to re-baseline ITER and have a common understanding of the real cost of ITER. In the parties and for the IO. The baseline decision by Council in June 2010 will set the real trigger for all countries to now move at the same pace. We still have lots of things to improve, technically, managerially and also in interfacing with industry partners.
ITER Licensing Process Accordance with French regulations ITER is a “basic nuclear facility” (Installation Nucléaire de Base, INB) e.g. labs, fuel plants, not fission reactors. Compliance with international standards of safety (IAEA) Licensing process: Safety options report submitted and reviewed 2002 Series of informal technical meetings with the authorities (ASN) and their technical advisors (IRSN), 2006 – 2008. License application documents were submitted January 2008 Request for authorisation (Demande d’Autorisation de Création, DAC), including Impact Study Preliminary Safety Report (Rapport Préliminaire de Sûreté, RPrS) Examination of files submitted in January 2008 Authorities (ASN & IRSN) reviewed our files for acceptability In July 2008, they requested detailed additional information in the files DAC and RPrS are now being updated, for re-submission in 2010 Next: Public Enquiry. Then examination by panel of independent experts (Groupe Permanent) to advise ASN.
Current status (October 2009) All RPrS chapters and Impact Study are in first draft Some require completion with the outcome of safety analyses in progress, or design information from baseline documents to be fixed Many annexe documents completed Translation into French under way Reviews of RPrS to be held October – December, by technical ROs, Safety Control Division (“second level” check), and in review including external experts - English version to be finalized by end of 2009 Translation in French and final checking Submission expected end of February 2010 Should lead to issue of decree allowing “creation” of facility. Further processes will follow to obtain authorisation for commissioning and start-up.
