1 Subprojects of IFERC K.Lackner (as Chair of IFERC Project Committee) Garching – 14 Apr 2011

(1) DEMO Design and R&D Coordination Center DEMO Design Coordination: establishing a common basis for a DEMO design,  i) holding of seminars and other meetings,  ii) provision and exchange of scientific and technical information  iii) DEMO conceptual design activities DEMO R&D Coordination: 5 R&D areas  T1: SiC f /SiC Composites  T2: Tritium Technology  T3: Materials Engineering for DEMO Blanket  T4: Advanced Neutron Multiplier for DEMO Blanket  T5: Advanced Tritium Breeders for DEMO Blanket

(2) Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) provide and exploit a supercomputer for large scale simulation activities  to analyse experimental data on fusion plasmas,  prepare scenarios for ITER operation,  predict the performance of the ITER facilities  contribute to the DEMO design physics basis, and BA activities.

(3) ITER Remote Experimentation Centre (REC) to facilitate a broad participation of scientists in ITER experiments REC will be developed as a remote experimentation room for experimental campaigns to enable  preparation and data analysis for ITER,  to monitor the ITER plant status,  to prepare and transfer pulse parameter files to the ITER CODAC  presenting the main machine and plasma parameters in real time,  to access promptly the experimental data for further analysis at the REC. Prior to the demonstration of the ITER remote experimentation, the REC will be tested on the Satellite Tokamak at the end of its upgrade.
