CCE-FU WS on Road Map 8FP


Road Maps Strategy

Associations must continue to be the SPINE of the fusion program

Secure ITER operation with a suitable accompanying program (EU SAT, JT60SA, others) and training of scientist

DEMO construction anticipated at reduced risk with agressive R&D both in physics and technology, Eu-Satellite conceived to be transformed in CTF in a II stage or DEMO as CTF

IFMIF key element but must not delay the DEMO construction schedule

Industry could be strongly involved in DEMO design and feasibility studies

ROAD MAP I: Funds > 30% w.r.t. 7FP



Road Maps Strategy

Associations must continue to be the SPINE of the fusion program

Secure ITER operation with a suitable accompanying program (EU SAT, JT60SA, others) and training of scientist

ROAD MAP II: Funds same as 7FP

DEMO construction anticipated assuming some risk with the last possible R&D both in physics and technology

DEMO as CTF

IFMIF key element but must not delay the DEMO construction schedule, even tough in this case would be more problematic

Industry could be only marginaly involved

?CCE-FU WS on Road Map 8FP


It is essential that DEMO construction starts few years after the ITER DT operation (2028?), in order to have it ready within 2040.

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



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.

EU SATELLITE



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



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.

Bridging to tokamak and stellarator to analyze key fusion issues and support ITER development• in a flexible device, using the same tools and language• in a wider and unexplored region, so strengthening fusion predictive capabilities

Exploration and assessment of the RFP potential at high plasma current as fusion concept

Educating a new generation of fusion scientists with practical training on a real device in a multidisciplinary (physics/engineering) environment

Overarching mission: serve the community with a goal-oriented experiment till ITER/EU Satellite are close to start (exploitation of tokamak & 3D physics)

Concluding Remarks

So far the success of the fusion program relies on the excellent job made by Associations in the frame of Euratom Program

New EU Satellite very beneficial for the achievement of the final target

Involvement of Industry has been of crucial importance for making possible ITER construction

This scheme should be maintened also for now on, even reinforcing the role of industry that in turn will need the Association R&D still for long long time


Besides, Association contribution amplified the Commission funds by a factor > 3.
