Associazione Euratom-ENEA sulla Fusione It is essential that DEMO construction starts few years after the ITER DT operation (2028?), in order to have it ready within This schedule has to be kept unchanged and in this regard the decision to build IFMIF should be not further delayed. Possible way to foster the nuclear data base creation is to upgrade existing 14 MeV facilities, for tests up to few dpa, and push forward the modelling activities to be benchmarked as predictive tools. To keep this schedule, other intermediate facility between IFMIF and DEMO are not thinkable (not less than 15 years delay would be introduced), thereby: either EU-SAT upgrade in CTF (RMI) or DEMO has to operate as CTF (RMII) Moreover, other international partners have already planned CTF experiments just after the start of ITER DEMO & IFMIF CCE-FU WS on Road Map 8FP

Associazione Euratom-ENEA sulla Fusione FFRP :” European satellite [h, vh]*-Considering the importance of accompanying ITER with a strong satellite programme, and taking note of the FAST proposal, Europe should develop a design for a device accessing the relevant parameter space and complementary to JT-60SA.” “The Panel, taking note of the FAST proposal as an example for a satellite showing attractive features in a compromise with comparatively low costs…” EU-SAT: exploitation of fairly integrated scenarios to secure ITER operation and allow early DEMO design & training of scientist and operators; Assess DEMO relevant scenarios & Plasma Wall and Divertor technologies In Road Map I, Eu SAT could be conceived to be upgraded in a CTF in a second stage.

Associazione Euratom-ENEA sulla Fusione JET, in the European scenario, can contribute with the ITER Like Wall. JET is certainly valuable for broadening the database on other physics issues But the cost to benefit ratio of JET experiments should be evaluated in comparison with equivalent experimental activities that can be carried out on other experimental facilities (e.g. ASDEX-UP, and later on JT60SA and EU SAT) Thereby, it seems worthy to consider JET operating until 2015 for the completion of the EP2 and DT phases (assuming DT would be scientifcally significative and technically affordable according to EP2 results) JET CCE-FU WS on Road Map 8FP

Associazione Euratom-ENEA sulla Fusione TRAINING Training is crucial for keeping at adequate level the scientific and technology community. Facilities and high level courses (PhD, Masters) are essential. Training on facilities possible in JET up to 2015, in ASDEX- UP, JT60SA & EU SAT afterwards. Possibly, collabortaion with others machine like KSTAR and EAST should be considered. CCE-FU WS on Road Map 8FP
