Abstract
- Abstract: Tritium breeding blanket testing is an important element in the ITER mission. Up to six different concepts for tritium breeding blanket systems, referred to as Test Blanket Systems (TBS), will be tested in three equatorial ports of ITER. Successful TBS experiments in ITER represent an essential step on the path to DEMO for all the ITER Members’ fusion development plans. The ITER Members are in charge of the design, manufacturing and delivery of the TBSs to the ITER site. The IO has responsibility for preparing the necessary interfaces required for the installation of the TBSs. Moreover, the TBM Program has to be fully integrated in the ITER Research Plan and its testing objectives have to be synchronized with the planned ITER operations. The paper addresses the major implementation steps of the TBM Program in ITER, including the organizational aspects, its integration into the ITER Research Plan and the Operational Plan, the licensing procedure and also gives a short overview of the TBS/ITER interfaces issues.
