• The BINP develops a modular design of ITER diagnostic equatorial and upper ports in close cooperation with the ITER Central Team. • Long-term reliable vacuum tests of boron carbide ceramics have been performed. • The possibility of using large amounts of boron carbide ceramics in ITER diagnostic ports has been demonstrated. • The BINP prepared a set of technologies for production and an assembly hall for the integration of ITER diagnostic ports. The paper presents results of the design development of the diagnostic equatorial and upper ports by RF DA (Russian Federation Domestic Agency) and results of the preparation of the production and assembly areas. The ports are being developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BINP) in good coordination with the ITER Central Team with the task of standardizing ports. Studies of boron carbide ceramics were conducted to prove that they meet the requirements of ITER. The preparation of port-plug production and the construction of the assembly hall at the BINP are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
