Procurement Sharing- A unique feature of ITER is that almost all of the

machine will be constructed through in kind procurement from the Members with essentially every member involved in every component.

• The IO works towards finalizing a full set of baseline documents by the end April (scope, schedule, cost);

• Scope is set in 2008. Schedule agreed as working basis in March 2010;

• Resource loading of IPS for the IO is ongoing; • The acceptance of the ITER baseline towards a

commonly agreed upon schedule is a huge step forward, since every party is committed to a common plan.

The Roadmap Beyond ITER


Summary• It took almost four years to re-baseline ITER and have a

common understanding of the real cost of ITER. In the parties and for the IO.

• The baseline decision by Council in June 2010 will set the real trigger for all countries to now move at the same pace.

• We still have lots of things to improve, technically, managerially and also in interfacing with industry partners.


ITER Licensing Process• Accordance with French regulations ITER is a “basic nuclear facility” (Installation

Nucléaire de Base, INB) e.g. labs, fuel plants, not fission reactors. Compliance with international standards of safety (IAEA)

• Licensing process:– Safety options report submitted and reviewed 2002– Series of informal technical meetings with the authorities (ASN) and their technical

advisors (IRSN), 2006 – 2008.– License application documents were submitted January 2008

• Request for authorisation (Demande d’Autorisation de Création, DAC), including Impact Study

• Preliminary Safety Report (Rapport Préliminaire de Sûreté, RPrS)

• Examination of files submitted in January 2008– Authorities (ASN & IRSN) reviewed our files for acceptability– In July 2008, they requested detailed additional information in the files– DAC and RPrS are now being updated, for re-submission in 2010

• Next: Public Enquiry. Then examination by panel of independent experts (Groupe Permanent) to advise ASN.


Current status (October 2009)• All RPrS chapters and Impact Study are in first draft

– Some require completion with the outcome of safety analyses in progress, or design information from baseline documents to be fixed

• Many annexe documents completed– Translation into French under way

• Reviews of RPrS to be held October – December, by technical ROs, Safety Control Division (“second level” check), and in review including external experts - English version to be finalized by end of 2009

• Translation in French and final checking– Submission expected end of February 2010

• Should lead to issue of decree allowing “creation” of facility.– Further processes will follow to obtain authorisation for commissioning

and start-up.
