PrefaceDr. Martha Krebs, Director, Office of Energy Research at the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE), wrote to the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC), in letters datedSeptember 23 and November 6, 1996, requesting that FESAC review the InternationalThermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Detailed Design Report (DDR) and “provide its viewof the adequacy of the DDR as part of the basis for the United States decision to enter negotiations”with the other interested Parties regarding “the terms and conditions for an agreement for theconstruction, operations, exploitation and decommissioning of ITER.” The letter from Dr. Krebs,referred to as the Charge Letter, provided context for the review and a set of questions of specificinterest.Addressing the Charge from Dr. Krebs and the specific questions associated with it has beena substantial undertaking because the development of the ITER design involves a wide range ofphysics, technology, engineering, and management areas. Furthermore, Dr. Krebs’ request for areport from FESAC by May 1, 1997, made the time period for the review limited. As a result,FESAC formed a panel (hereafter referred to as the “Panel”) and charged it to carry out the review,with the objective of presenting a report to the full FESAC before May 1st. This report has beenprepared by the Panel and includes our findings, conclusions and recommendations regarding theissues addressed to FESAC.Eleven subpanels were constituted in January, 1997, three of which were subsequentlycombined into one. Each of these now nine subpanels was given the responsibility for reviewingparticular elements of the ITER DDR report, and providing the Panel with findings andrecommendations. The reports of each subpanel are included in this report as a series of appendices.The formation of the subpanels also provided the Panel with the means to hear from and includemany outside experts and to insure the broad representation of the fusion scientific and technicalcommunity in the review. The Chair of FESAC determined that FESAC members who wereemployed primarily in ITER activities should not participate in the preparation of the subpanelreports, but should participate to provide clarifying information. The Chair of the Panel agreed toprovide copies of each subpanel report to the U.S. ITER Home Team for the sole purpose ofchecking these reports for factual accuracy. The Panel report itself however has been prepared by thePanel and has received no other review. The membership of the Panel, as well as of the ninesubpanels, together with the dates of their various meetings, are given in Appendix A.Finally, the Panel wishes to express our enormous gratitude to all those who workedtirelessly over an intense six week period to produce the subpanel reports, which in turn informedthis Panel’s deliberations, along with the ITER DDR report itself. The Panel is also very grateful toall the members of the ITER international design team, headed by Dr. Robert Amyar, and the U.S.1

ITER Home Team, headed by Dr. Charles Baker, for their presentations and for their extensiveefforts to provide answers quickly to queries from both the subpanels and the Panel itself. It is clearfrom the scale and depth of the ITER DDR report that this international team has accomplished anenormous task and our appreciation is extended to them.2

I.Executive SummaryITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, is now in theEngineering Design Phase (EDA) of a worldwide effort to conceive, design and ultimately constructan experimental device to advance the development of fusion power. The major partners in the ITEReffort are the European Union, Japan, the Russian Federation and the United States, and the EDAphase of the program is scheduled to be completed in 1998.The objectives of ITER are “.to demonstrate controlled ignition and extended burn .,” “.todemonstrate steady-state operation.” and “.to demonstrate the technologies essential for a fusionreactor.” ITER brings together three threads important for the advancement of fusion: burningplasma physics, steady-state operation, and the testing of key technologies. It has long been agreed inthe US fusion program that the threshold to burning plasma physics occurs at Q 5, where the alphaheating power equals the externally supplied input power. Technology testing of divertor systemsand plasma facing components, as well as qualification of nuclear blanket modules, requires at least 1GW of fusion power in ITER, with a neutron fluence of about 1 MW-yr/m2 accumulated over aperiod of about 10 years. Thus if ITER can achieve Q 5 for long pulses at Pfus 1 GW, with anavailability of 10 - 15%, this will constitute a dramatic step toward demonstrating the scientific andtechnological feasibility of fusion energy. Together with further improvements in plasmaperformance and plant availability in the ongoing fusion science and technology programs, resultsfrom ITER will provide critical information required for the design of an attractive fusion DEMOpower plant.The general objectives and the plasma performance and engineering performance objectivesfor ITER are specifically set out in the 1992 report of the Special Working Group-I (SWG-I) as:General"The ITER detailed technical objectives and the technical approaches, including appropriatemargins, should be compatible with the aim of maintaining the cost of the device within the limitscomparable to those indicated in the final report of the ITER CDA as well as keeping its impact inthe long-range fusion program. ITER should be designed to operate safely and to demonstrate thesafety and environmental potential of fusion power."Plasma Performance"ITER should have a confinement capability to reach controlled ignition. The estimates ofconfinement capability of ITER should be based, as in the CDA procedure, on established favorablemodes of operation. ITER should demonstrate controlled ignition and extended burn for a durationsufficient to achieve stationary conditions on all time scales characteristic of plasma processes andplasma wall interactions, and sufficient for achieving stationary conditions for nuclear testing of3

blanket components. This can be fulfilled by pulses with flat top duration in the range of 1000 s. Fortesting particular blanket designs, pulses of approximately 2000 s are desirable, with the ultimate aimof demonstrating steady state operation using non-inductive current drive in reactor relevantplasmas."Engineering Performance and Testing"ITER should demonstrate the availability of technologies essential for a fusion reactor (suchas superconducting magnets and remote maintenance); test components for a reactor (such asexhaust power and particles from the plasma); test design concepts of tritium breeding blanketsrelevant to a reactor. The tests foreseen on modules include the demonstration of a breedingcapability that would lead to tritium self-sufficiency in a reactor, the extraction of high-grade heat, andelectricity generation."The remainder of the SWG-1 report outlining the design and operation requirements is givenin Appendix B. Commitments by the parties to proceed to construction and a decision on selectionof the construction site are scheduled for the 1998 time frame. All parties recognize the importanceof ITER, both to their national fusion efforts and as an opportunity to do cooperative internationalscience on an unprecedented scale. As recently as Fall 1996, a meeting of some sixty U.S. fusionprogram leaders reaffirmed support for U.S. participation in ITER and ITER's importance as aninvestment in fusion research, even if the U.S. participation were on the basis of a less-than-fullmember. There was a strong consensus that, at present U.S. fusion funding levels, continuation ofthe present funding level into the ITER construction phase is very well justified.Dr. Martha Krebs, Director, Office of Energy Research at the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE), wrote to the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC), in letters datedSeptember 23 and November 6, 1996, requesting that FESAC review the InternationalThermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Detailed Design Report (DDR) and “provide its viewof the adequacy of the DDR as part of the basis for the United States decision to enter negotiations”with the other interested Parties regarding “the terms and conditions for an agreement for theconstruction, operations, exploitation and decommissioning of ITER.” The letter from Dr. Krebsprovided context for the review and specifically asked that the following five questions be addressed:1. Are the ITER physics basis, technology base, and engineering design sound? Focus onthe critical physics, technology, and engineering issues that affect the design while allowing for theR&D planned in each of the areas through the end of the EDA.2. Is ITER likely to meet its performance objectives as agreed upon by the four Parties anddocumented in the 1992 SWG-1 report? Evaluate predicted performance margins, comment on therange of operating scenarios, and identify opportunities to improve the performance.4

3. Do the design and operating plans adequately address environment, safety, and healthconcerns? Focus on the methodology used by the Joint Central Team to address these concerns.4. Are the proposed cost estimates and schedules for the construction project and subsequentoperations, exploitation and decommissioning credible, and are they consistent with the procurementmethods and staffing arrangements recommended by the ITER Director? Focus on the methodologyused to prepare the estimates.5. Are there any cost effective opportunities for pursuing modest extensions of the currentdesign features in order to enhance operational flexibility and increase scientific and technologicalproductivity of ITER? Focus on areas where cost effectiveness of any design extensions would behigh.In this Executive Summary, the Panel provides our primary findings, conclusions andrecommendation
