4. ITER – Key Facts
Mega-Science Project among 7 Members:
China, EU, India, Japan, Korea, Russia & US
Designed to produce 500 MW of fusion power for an extended period of time with a Q of 10
10 years construction, 20 years operation
Cost: ~5.4 billion Euros approved for construction, and ~5.5 billion for operation and decommissioning

5. Procurement Sharing
- A unique feature of ITER is that almost all of the machine will be constructed through in kind procurement from the Members with essentially every member involved in every component.

27. 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 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

The creation and improvement of 106 kilometres of access roads from Fos harbour to Cadarache will be finished by February 1 28

29. 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

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.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. 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.
