Design and manufacture of the ITER Vacuum Vessel

Abstract: 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 fabricati… Show more

“…A primary advantage of the liquid immersion blanket design is that it significantly reduces the amount of solid material near the plasma. The vacuum vessel design for ARC will have only 85 metric tons (∼ 11 m 3 ) of solid material compared to over 2000 metric tons in ITER [104]. This drastically lowers the amount of material that could become activated.…”
