Description
Summary:Design and supporting R&D are being carried out in the EU in preparation for the construction of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). As the Fuel Cycle systems are located in ‘time-critical’ buildings the detailed design of piping, ducting, cabling and services is being done to ensure compatibility with the building. R&D is focussed on improvements to the reference designs for ITER, extension of parametric studies to cover all operating modes and long term experiments to test component reliability. In addition emphasis is being placed on design and R&D for the Water Detritiation System, an important barrier against routine release of tritium.
