PROGRESS OF ITER-INDIA ACTIVITIES FOR ITER DELIVERABLES-Challenges and mitigation measures
What are the major developments?
A functional facility where R&D in India, for ITER relevant systems are being carried out
RF systems, Negative ion Neutral Beams, Cryogenics, High Voltage Power supplies, Diagnostics
Important development in Indian industry and elsewhere in areas of manufacturing technologies the following areas:
Precision engineering (Components for Neutral Beams – grids, high heat flux components)
Heavy manufacturing (Cryostat – thick shell welding & distortion control)
How have these developments helped?
Providing important inputs for ITER’s system realization, their operational reliability and performance limits,
Trained HR for the fusion community in areas of fusion physics and technology
Value engineering and process optimization for manufacturing needs
What needs to be done next?
Sustain the emphasis on R&D on unexplored areas
Expand the study to address the requirements for future devices
