UKAEA-CCFE-CP(20)012020
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority are involved in the design and manufacture of the diagnostic windows for ITER. ITER is an international project, with 35 nations collaborating to design, construct and operate a prototype controlled nuclear fusion reactor in southern France. As well as providing line of sight for diagnostics, the window…

Remote maintenance in fusion machines such as JET and ITER relies on sliding interfaces such as bolted joints. Experience in JET, where removal torques much higher than installation values with uncoated bolts is commonplace, led to the installation of experimental bolted assemblies in 2015: the first of its kind in JET. These assemblies included so…

The detachment of a beryllium tile from the ITER Normal Heat Flux (NHF) First Wall (FW) panels would result in an unacceptable degradation of panel performance. Such detachment has previously been observed under High Heat flux (HHF) testing of NHF FW prototypes, with initiation of de-bonding at tile edges and subsequent delamination occurring betwe…

The European ITER First Wall panel design relies on a HIP based manufacturing sequence. However, failures of the bond to the beryllium tile might occur during the fabrication and under high heat flux qualification. A dedicated project has been stablished between UKAEA/CCFE and F4E aiming to identify suitable repair techniques. One of the most prom…
