In April 2020, manufacturing of the ITER vacuum vessel (VV) 1st sector has been completed by Korea domestic agency (KODA) since manufacturing started in February 2012. The ITER VV sector is the largest fusion VV structure in the world. Each step of the manufacturing was challenged as a first-of-a-kind (FOAK), and a French nuclear pressure vessel. The paper provides an overview of the major challenges which were overcome over the last 10 years.

“…The achievement of these tight tolerances is made more difficult by the nature of the austenitic steel 316 L(N)-IG, which exhibits high welding distortion due to the low thermal conductivity combined with a high coefficient of thermal expansion. The manufacturing techniques to be used by AMW are supported by the experience over the past 9 years [4][5][6] and partial full scale prototypes (see Section 5). Table 1 Per sector-60 mm butt welds (unless otherwise stated).…”
