Abstract
The purpose of this contract is to provide expert support to the NB section leader and the IO
engineers in the management of the design for the ITER neutral beam system
The engineering and physics design of the ITER neutral beam injectors are on-going activities
which will grow rapidly in the coming years
This work to be carried out in this contract is primarily concerned with the design of the HVB
for the HNB and MITICA which should reach FDR at the end of 2012.
2
Background and Objectives
The expert hired under this contract will be closely involved with the following areas of work,
with the objectives indicated. The contract duration is up to 24 months, based at ITER
Organization, Route de Vinon sur Verdon, 13115 St Paul-lez-Durance, France, on full time
basis. Missions are foreseen under the contract (see 5. Work description).
3
Scope of Work
This contract is foreseen to perform:
(1) evaluations and validations of the design of the HV bushing toward FDR for the HNB ;
(2) assessments of the design work of the beam source for MITICA
(3) evaluations of the importance of the results from all the R&D tasks on the ITER
injectors and the procurement of the injector components.
The contractor will write monthly technical reports on the work done and store them on IDM.
HV Bushing for MITICA and HNB in ITER
The HV bushing, that is 1MV potential feedthrough between vacuum and SF6 insulation gas, is
used in both MITICA and HNB in ITER. They have the same structure except the seal
methods of ceramic rings and FRP rings are different for MITICA to that of the HNB. MITICA
allows the use of viton seals which is not allowed in the ITER design. The PA of the HV
bushing for MITICA was signed with JADA in Dec. 2011, and a part of the PA (Stage-1 for
non-metallic components of ceramic and FRP rings that need a long duration time for the
fabrication) has commenced for the manufacturing phase. The rest of the HV bushing
components, mainly metallic parts, are being designed under an ITER Task. The R&Ds
including vibration test and voltage holding test for a component of the HV bushing is ongoing in parallel with the design and those results are critically evaluated the suitability of the
Stage-2 design of the HV bushing. The Annex B of the HV bushing for HNB in ITER is also
required to be completed by the beginning of 2013, through completing the design and R&Ds
for the ceramic and FRP rings seal structure.
Objectives: The contractor will assist the NB section in carefully assessing the design work for
MITICA and the HV bushings for both MITICA and HNB in ITER, both as the work
progresses and the final product, in order to ensure, as far as is possible, that the primary
objectives of MITICA can be fulfilled, and that the component design for ITER meets the
ITER standards and requirements. The contractor will initially carry out a design of the stage-2
Page 3 of 10
ITER_D_7699EG
components of the HV bushing for MITICA and assess the status of the work completion. He
will at the same time follow the progress of the design work of the HV bushing for the HNB.
He will also oversee the ITAs ongoing on the bushing design.
This will be the principal work of the contractor.
PRIMA facility
The PRIMA facility (to be built at Padua, Italy) will consist of SPIDER (previously called the
ion source test facility) and MITICA, which is essentially a full size heating neutral beam
injector. The design of PRIMA will be finalised under ITER tasks for ≈100 PPY in coming
one year. That work will produce the build to print designs of the components for the HNB as
well as PRIMA.
The diagnostics to be used on PRIMA, which are crucial to the mission of the facility, are also
being designed under an ITER task.
Objectives: The contractor will assist the NB section in carefully assessing the design work for
PRIMA, in particular beam source including RF driven negative ion source and 1MeV
accelerator, both as the work progresses and the final product, in order to ensure, as far as is
possible, that the primary objectives of PRIMA can be fulfilled, and that the component design
for ITER meets the ITER standards and requirements. The contractor will initially carry out a
review of the foreseen work and assess the status of the work completion. He will then
investigate possible issues and identify solutions of the design work via the progress meetings
foreseen in the relevant ITER task.
R&D for ITER HNB system
ITER tasks have been launched for R&D in the following areas:
Effectiveness of new magnetic filter configurations for the ion source.
Development of the 1 MV bushing for the HNB
R&Ds of vibration test and voltage holding for the screen shield in the HV bushing
Detailed physics design of the MAMuG 1 MV accelerator for ITER HNB.
Tolerance of electrodes with ITER HNB relevant separation distances to the energy
released during high voltage breakdowns.
Objectives: The contractor will assist the NB section in assessing the importance of the results
from all the R&D tasks to the ITER injectors and the procurement of the injector components.
The contractor will also assess the need for further R&D that would ensure, or help ensure, that
the systems meet the required level of performance and reliability/availability.
