On June 28th 2007, the day the ITER European Domestic Agency was officially launched in Barcelona, UK industry met at the Culham Science Centre to prepare for ITER business opportunities. The current focus is on civil engineering and long-lead time items (vessel and magnets). Also many specialist systems are at the design stage, and UKAEA is looking for companies to get involved with developing plasma diagnostic port plugs, and neutral beam and RF heating systems – excellent opportunities for UK companies.

Approximately 90% of ITER components will be provided “in kind” by the ITER parties, with Europe providing nearly half via the new Agency in Barcelona. At the event at Culham on 28 June, Akko Maas of ITER presented an overview of the split between parties, how the procurements will be managed by the central ITER team with the parties’ Domestic Agencies, and also the overall schedule. He also listed nearer term opportunities from both the central ITER team and the European Agency in Barcelona.

Enrico Di Pietro, EFDA, described engineering services and procurement opportunities with the Barcelona Agency known as Fusion for Energy (F4E) (www.fusionforenergy.europa.eu) and expected tendering arrangements. He emphasised the importance of the EFDA industry database (www.efda.org/eidi) which is expected to be used to identify a short list of suitable companies to send the calls for tender. UK companies are urged to register after first contacting Dan Mistry, Fusion & Industry Manager.

Jerry Sovka, Head of Civil Construction, outlined progress to-date and future civil contract requirements for construction at the ITER site in Cadarache. Site clearance and tree cutting was completed at the end of March and the next major activity will be the levelling of the site which entails cutting into limestone rock to make it all one level for building construction. Three million cubic metres of soil and rock have to be moved from the site where the nuclear buildings will be located.

On 28th June 2007, the European domestic agency for ITER was formally launched in Barcelona, under the name – ‘Fusion for Energy’ (www.fusionforenergy.europe.eu). The agency will work with European industry and research organisations to provide the components needed for ITER. Almost half the parts that make up ITER will come from Europe, in the form of ‘in kind’ contributions – those systems and components that each of the ITER Parties is committed to procure and deliver to ITER.
