The document outlines the Statement of Work (SOW) for the Design of the Tokamak Dust Filter System (TDFS), part of the international ITER fusion energy project. The SOW details the scope of work for a contractor, referred to as the Seller, responsible for the design and documentation of primary and secondary dust filters to prevent activated dust from compromising the vacuum systems during maintenance. It includes comprehensive performance requirements, quality assurance provisions, and specific tasks such as creating 3D models, piping designs, seismic analyses, and compliance with ITER standards.
The project requires a well-structured approach, including a Project Plan and Quality Plan, and mandates regular progress reporting and collaboration with the US ITER Project Office. The document specifies a range of performance analyses, including structural and piping stress assessments, ensuring alignment with established codes and safety regulations pertinent to the facility’s nuclear classification. Key deliverables expected from the Seller include design package drawings, design analysis calculations (DACs), and updated modeling, supporting the goal of optimizing design integrity while adhering to international regulatory framework for the fusion facility.
The Statement of Work (SOW) for the Fabrication of a Tokamak Dust Filter System (TDFS) outlines the requirements for producing and delivering specific dust filter equipment for the ITER project. This international initiative aims to showcase fusion energy's feasibility and involves collaboration among multiple nations, with the U.S. managed by the US ITER Project Office.
The SOW details the scope, which encompasses the fabrication of four primary and two secondary dust filters, the associated hardware, and rigorous quality assurance protocols to meet safety and technical standards. It emphasizes project planning, material procurement, fabrication processes, and validation, highlighting critical requirements such as the approval of Quality and Inspection Plans, testing, and CE certification.
Transportation and packaging specifications are also outlined to ensure the equipment's integrity during shipment to Cadarache, France. The document establishes a structured approach with defined deliverables and checkpoints across various performance requirements—ensuring accountability through project kick-off meetings, progress reports, and the maintenance of thorough documentation. The comprehensive guidelines affirm the project's commitment to quality, safety, and compliance with applicable regulations, vital to the successful execution of the TDFS fabrication in line with ITER's goals.
