Page 2 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Results Reported at Dec 07 Meeting Presented new cost account structure that was adopted by team Reported that the ARIES Material Cost Database had been updated to include installed costs for first wall, blanket, shielding, primary structure, vacuum vessel, and cryostat subsystemsMaterial Cost Database Reported that the ARIES Cost Accounts have been documented through accounts shown below: Accounts 20, Land and Land Rights Accounts 21, Structures and Site Facilities Partially Acct 22, Power Core Plant Equipment Acct 22.01, Fusion Energy Capture and Conversion (FWB, shielding ) Acct 22.02, Plasma Confinement (Being developed by Bromberg/Kessel) Acct 22.03, Plasma Formation and Sustainment (in work) Acct 22.04, Vacuum, Power Core (in work) Acct Primary Structure and Support, Power Core (C.Post, B. Cyl, VV, Cryost, etc) Acct – 13 Power Supplies, Main HT&T, Cryo, Rad Matls, Fuel Handl, Maint, I&C, and Other Plant Equipment (yet to be done)

Page 3 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Validating/Updating Costs Difficult 1.Prior ARIES cost documentation is sketchy, at best (reported in ARIES II-IV Sys Studies chapter and one SSPS chapter) 2.Account 22 never documented in entirety Totals reported, but some sub-accounts never shown, eg, cyro cooling, rad waste, fuel handling, maintenance, and I&C, amounting to $103M in ARIES-AT A-II-IV Sys Studies Chapter defined algorithms (92$) for: Aux cooling (1.1x10 -3 x P th ), should be waste heat Radioactive waste treatment(1,96x10 -3 x P th ), should be waste mass Fueling handling and storage(∑ of unit prices, g/d, m 3 /h, constants) ? Other reactor plant equipment(1.78x10 -3 x P th ) TBD Instrumentation and control $38.29 M TBD 3.FWBS and coil accounts used material databases (recommended) 4.Many other accounts used performance parameters to estimate costs (heating/CD, vacuum, primary structure, power supplies, impurity control, main heat transfer and transport), some may be appropriate

Page 4 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Validating/Updating Costs Difficult 1.L. Bromberg and C. Kessel working on coil subsystems 2.TK Mau and I have started working on Heating and CD accounts 3.In prior ARIES estimates, Vacuum Vessel seemed to be lumped with Vacuum System in “Reactor Vacuum Systems (unless integral elsewhere)” Algorithm was 0.024xM vac +4.09x kg/d (of gases pumped?) Ref: M vac for Titan-I Current ASC code computes VV volume and uses Material Table costs (for new Acct ) but no cost computed for Vacuum, Power Core ( New Acct 22.04) In ARIES-AT, Boeing developed a detailed design and provided a detailed Vacuum Vessel cost estimate that did not appear to be used or documented in AT Cost Summary. This is being used as the VV cost basis in the Material database. Unit Costs 2000$ 2008$ Spool Assembly$30/kg$36.90/kg Removable Doors$44/kg$54.12/kg Door Frame$76/kg$93.48/kg Port Enclosure$30/kg$36.90/kg Composite Rate$35/kg$43.05.kg Refer to Update of ARIES-AT Vacuum Vessel Design presentation of June 2000 to confirm design and cost basis

Page 5 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Validating/Updating Costs Difficult 1.Divertor seems to be under “Impurity Control” (= 0.73 x A div ), but not related to materials, design definition, or fabrication approach Current systems code still uses this algorithm, but can adopt the materials algorithm 2.Primary structure should be estimated with material volume 3.Remaining accounts remain to be evaluated.

Page 6 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Historical Data on Some Systems Starfire used its shield as a vacuum vessel, hence no cost reported. ARIES has traditionally not identified the cost of the vessel but loaded it into a general category, which ranged from $73M to $227M (2008$). Boeing estimated AT vessel to be $48M. ITER had its vessel as $390M (first of a kind) and very large. Vacuum equipment not easily separable from ARIES. Starfire had its at $12M. ITER’s vacuum equipment is $44M. Most ARIES divertors are in the $10M-$20M range. ITER’s is $139M With the assumption that the cost of the divertor is similar to the unit cost of the first wall blanket and proportional their respective areas, then RS divertor is 15% of FWB (~$15M) and AT is 34% of FWB (~$31M). Don’t have ITER areas but percentage is 53%.

Page 7 ARIES Project Meeting, L. M. Waganer, 3-4 March 2008 Comparison of ITER to ARIES-AT These are comparisons of the direct capital equipment costs. ITER is first of a kind and not competitively bid. Also these ITER costs are based on the available data as of Snowmass I had the ARIES structures algorithms but did not have the related parameters to generate individual costs and these were not documented..
