“…Currently IBOROB is under development to be used as a calibration device for the in situ measurement of the LOS of the bolometers in ASDEX Upgrade. The experience gained during this analysis will help to provide the basis for defining one for ITER, compatible to the remote handling tools foreseen in [4].…”

This work outlines the present design status of developments on the optimization of line of sight (LOS) characteristics for the ITER bolometry collimators. The verification and measurement of the LOS of the bolometry is an important issue for a reliable operation of the tomographic reconstruction algorithms. Therefore the ITER Bolometer Robot Test Facility (IBOROB) is used as a diagnostic tool in order to analyse signal geometry and assess the performance of different prototypes. The LOS characteristics as a function of number of apertures is presented and the influence of a microwave filtering aperture was determined. The results of the improvement of stray light attenuation by application of the graphite based coating AQUADAG R are evaluated as well and an overview about the current collimator design is given. This paper focuses on the most remarkable results and a way to further possible upgrades is outlined. However, some results are not in accordance with the ones predicted in theoretical calculations. Thus not all key parameters which influence the LOS could be clearly identified yet.

“…The size of the vacuum vessel penetration is constrained by the opening in the main vessel, the neighbouring divertor cooling pipes and thermal shields. This limited space is one of the main constraints for the conceptual design of these 2 systems [2]. The layout of this penetration and systems is given in Fig.…”

“…The remote handling (RH) systems are required during maintenance operations that will play an important role in the ITER project, [1]. One of such systems is the Cask and Plug Remote Handling System (CPRHS), a mobile vehicle responsible for RH operations of transportation of contaminated components and equipment from the TB to the Hot Cell Building (HCB).…”

Abstract-Rhombic like vehicles are characterized for high maneuverability in cluttered environments. This type of vehicles will be used on remote handling operations of maintenance in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Previous work was done in motion planning using Constrained Delaunay Triangulation for rhombic like vehicles operating in ITER. This paper shows that the integration of Fast Marching Square improves the motion planning methodology, decreasing also the computational effort, which can be applied not only in ITER but also in other complex and cluttered environments. Simulated results are presented comparing the initial and the improved motion planning.
