 International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor
ITER is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today.
An ambitious endeavor being undertaken by seven members of the world
to study and establish the era of "Nuclear fusion"
ITER will be the first fusion device to maintain fusion for long periods of
time. And ITER will be the first fusion device to test the integrated
technologies, materials, and physics regimes necessary for the commercial
production of fusion based electricity

Transportation of Top Lid

Each sections of cryostat will be manufactured &

dispatched in form of sectors
Top Lid is manufactured in 12 segments of 30.
The sectors will be fabricated to make a single section at
temporary workshop near the site at France by using
transportation frame.
The section will be transported to the tokamak pit by
transportation frame.
SPMT (self Propelled Modular Transporter) vehicles will
shift the final assembly of upper cylinder from workshop to
tokomak pit in France.
Cryostat will be fabricated from these section at tokamak
pit.
Title
Literature Review
ITER Cryostat- An overview &
design progress
Overview & status of ITER
Cryostat manufacturing
Authors Contribution
Bharat Doshia et al. This paper discusses the updated
[1] Cryostat design and analysis
with integration of the different
penetrations required for the
communication within the In-
Cryostat
system and its maintenance.
Anil K. Bhardwaj et al. The cryostat main
[2]. sections/components are
manufactured and assembled in
three stages: (i) factory
fabrication of segments/sectors
of the main sections, (ii) sub-
assembly of sections at the ITER
site temporary workshop and (iii)
assembly in the tokamak pit.
Title Author contribution

The structure analysis of Liang Chaoa et al. This paper researches the dynamic structure
ITER cryostat based on the [3] strength of the ITER cryostat during the
finite element method operation of TOKAMAK. Firstly the paper
introduces the types of loads and the
importance of every type load to the research.
Then it gives out the method of building model
and principle of simplified model, boundary
conditions and the way of applying loads on the
cryostat. Finally the author discussed the
analysis result and the strength questions of
cryostat, also, the author pointed out the
opinions according to the analysis results.

A conceptual design of H.K. Park et al. The conceptual design of the ITER tokamak assembly
tools (focused sector sub-assembly tools and in-pit
assembly strategy & [4] assembly tools) has been developed for the upending
dedicated tools for tool, the sector sub-assembly tool, the sector lifting
assembly of 40 sector tool, the VV support and bracing tool and in-pit
assembly tools based on the design concept
suggested by the ITER organization. Design works of
assembly tools have been successfully performed to
meet the current assembly requirements for 2 years.
Title
Structural analysis of ITER
sub-assembly tools
Author Contribution
K.O. Nama et al. [5] To verify structural
stabilities of the sector
sub-assembly tools in
terms of strength and
deflection, ANSYS code was
used for linear static
analysis. The results of the
analysis show that these
tools are designed with
sufficient strength and
stiffness. The conceptual
designs of these tools are
briefly described in this
paper
Title Author Contribution
Design Jean-Philippe Girard et Infrequent severe earthquake called SL-2 is
earthquakes for al. [6] considered. Worse consequences if no measures
ITER in Europe at taken were considered. The construction of ITER
Cadarache in Europe at Cadarache, as a nuclear facility
according to the French regulation with
demonstrated and validated seismic hazard,
warranties a low level of project risk. Position of
nuclear buildings has been optimized to reduce
seismic hazard at the basemat. Moreover, in
order to minimize constraints on the equipment,
it is proposed to use aseismic bearings for the
tokamak building
