Presolicitation Notice for Upper Wide-Angle Viewing System (UWAVS) Ex-Vessel Subsystem

The Statement of Work outlines the manufacturing, inspection, testing, and delivery of the Ex-Vessel Subsystem for the ITER Upper Wide Angle Viewing System (UWAVS). This project, managed by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), involves providing real-time visible and infrared images of the ITER divertor region across four upper ports. The Ex-Vessel system comprises three main assemblies: the Interspace Optics Tube (IOT), Bioshield Optics Labyrinth (BOL), and Back End Optics and Camera (BEOC). The project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on manufacturing preparation, including documentation, CAD development, and prototyping, culminating in a Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR). Phase 2 covers the actual manufacturing, assembly, factory acceptance testing (FAT), shipping, and site acceptance. The document details extensive quality assurance measures, reporting requirements, and a milestone schedule, ensuring compliance with various codes and standards. PPPL will provide raw materials and cameras, while the supplier is responsible for fabricating, testing, and delivering the assemblies, along with providing integration support.

This government file details a comprehensive list of applicable, reference, and for-information documents related to the ITER project, specifically focusing on the 55.GA UWAVS (Wide Angle Viewing System) components. The file outlines materials specifications, system classifications, test plans, statements of work, and technical specifications for various components, including ex-vessel subsystems, interspace, and port cell components. It also includes an extensive list of applicable drawings, ranging from cabling and PID diagrams to general arrangement drawings for optics tubes, bioshield optical labyrinths, and back-end optics and cameras. A significant portion is dedicated to codes and standards from ASTM, AWS, DIN, EN, ISO, ISPM, RCC-MR, ANSI, and ASME, covering materials, welding, fasteners, and quality assurance. Reference documents include the ITER Vacuum Handbook and its numerous appendices, dimensional metrology, numbering systems, and procedures for manufacturing, nonconformities, and transportation. The document also contains an export control warning, restricting the release of technical data for specific uses related to fusion energy development.
