“…Within the activities on fusion research, while ITER reactor is under construction, concept design activities have started for the DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO), the tokamak that will demonstrate the feasibility of energy production from nuclear fusion and will mark the very first step of fusion power into the energy market by supplying electricity to the grid [36,37]. In this work IPADeP was applied to the initial phase of conceptual design activities for a tokamak subsystem, DEMO divertor-to-vacuum vessel locking system, to propose new innovative solutions that could overcome the difficulties in applying the ITER principles to DEMO [38,39]. Due to the lack and the uncertainly of the requirements in this early conceptual design stage, we covered the first interactions of the framework (decomposition level 0-1), and obtained an innovative concept to be developed in more details as information will be detailed.…”

The present paper proposes a structured Product Development Lifecycle (PDL) model to deal with the concept design stage of complex assemblies. The proposed method provides a systematic approach to design, aimed to improve requirements management, project management and communication among stakeholders as well as to avoid project failures reducing project development time. This research also provides suggestions and recommendations for utilizing different analysis, synthesis and assessment methodologies along with the proposed approach. The process developed, named Iterative and Participative Axiomatic Design Process (IPADeP), is consistent with ISO/IEC 15288: 2008 – “Systems and software engineering”, and INCOSE Systems engineering handbook. It is an iterative and incremental design process, participative and requirements driven, based on the theory of Axiomatic Product Development Lifecycle (APDL). IPADeP provides a systematic methodology in which, starting from a set of experts’ assumptions, a number of conceptual solutions are generated, analysed and evaluated. Based on the results obtained, new iterations can be performed for each level of decomposition while product requirements are refined. In this paper, we applied IPADeP to the initial phase of conceptual design activities for DEMO divertor-to-vacuum vessel locking system in order to propose new innovative solutions

“…After removal, the divertor cassettes are placed in the transporter and taken to another facility, the Hot-Cell. To remove and replace cassettes, it is necessary to operate their locking mechanism, the knuckle, using several tools: a wrench tool, a pin tool, and a jack [1].The tools must be driven into the respective slots in the surface of the knuckle with narrow gaps and tight tolerances.…”
