The main functions of the ITER Vacuum Vessel (VV) are to provide the necessary vacuum for plasma operation, act as first nuclear confinement barrier and remove nuclear heating. The design of the VV has been reviewed in the past two years due to more advanced analyses, design modifications required by the interfacing components and R&D. Following the signature of four Procurement Arrangement (PAs), the manufacturing design of the VV sectors, ports and In-Wall Shielding (IWS) is being finalized and the fabrication of the VV sectors has been started in 2012.

“…According to the design analysis of VVGS for all load conditions [3], the maximum contact pressure on dowels is less than 500 MPa which shall therefore be applicable for the qualification tests. A spherical shape of the dowel coupon has been specified to achieve a controlled pressure distribution for sliding area.…”

“…Due to this inclination the hinges are rotated by the radial expansion of the VV during operation and baking conditions, respectively. In order to develop the design concept and verify the structural integrity of the hinge system, the design and its engineering analysis are performing actively in detail [1][2][3]. * Corresponding author.…”
