BACKGROUND In its July 2010 conclusions concerning ITER1, the Council of the European Union ruled that a yearly assessment of Fusion for Energy (F4E) shall be made and presented to the Council, as follows: F4E will report to the Council at least once a year on the progress achieved in implementing the cost containment and savings plan as well as on the performance and management of the Agency and the ITER project. It will also report once a year on the fulfillment of the scheduled activities within its annual budget […] The F4E Governing Board will appoint an independent expert who will assess the project progress on the basis of existing reports and will submit this opinion to the Governing Board and to the Competitiveness Council once a year Furthermore, the April 2018 Council Conclusions on the Reformed ITER Project confirmed the need to have an annual assessment and defined the areas where the assessment should focus: The Council CALLS on all stakeholders to pay utmost attention to both risk management and improved cost control, including appropriate provisioning for risks and contingencies so as to avoid any further delays in the future.

  • Report of Contributions
    SOFT 2018 Report of Contributions https://agenda.enea.it/e/soft2018 SOFT 2018 / Report of Contributions Path planning and space occupatio … Contribution ID: 1 Type: not specified Path planning and space occupation for remote maintenance operations of transportation in DEMO Monday, 17 September 2018 11:00 (2 hours) The ex-vessel Remote Maintenance Systems in the DEMOnstration Power Station (DEMO)are responsible for the replacement and transportation of the plasma facing components. The ex-vessel operations of transportation are performed by overhead systems or ground vehicles. The time duration of the transportation operations has to be taken into account for the reactor shutdown. The space required to perform these operations has also an impact in the economics ofthepower plant. A total of 87 trajectories of transportation were evaluated, with a total length of approximately 3 km. The total occupancy volume is, comparatively, between 21 and 45 Olympic swimming pools, depending mainly to the type of transportation adopted in the upper level of the reactor building. Taking into account the recovery and rescue operations in case of failure, the volume may increase up to, between 43 and 64 Olympic swimming pools. The estimation of the total time duration of all expected transportation missions in the reactor building are between 166 hours (7 days) and 388 hours (16 days). This time estimation does not include docking, accelerations or other opera- tions that are not transportation. The travel speed is assumed constant with a maximum value of 20cm/s (the same value assumed for Cask and Plug Remote handling System in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor - ITER).

  • Nuclear Fusion As a Solution to Energy Needs Gerencia De Riesgos Y Seguros
    Nuclear Fusion as a Solution to Energy Needs gerencia de riesgos y seguros Nuclear Fusion as a Solution to Energy Needs Society needs new options to sustainably meet the population’s growing demand for energy. With this objective, researchers worldwide have been working for decades to create fusion power, which is a massive, sustainable source of energy that is a veritable scientific and technological challenge. However, industrial production and commercialization of this power source may not be achieved until the second half of this century. “The search for sources of energy goes back to the dawn of the human race,” acknowledges Carlos Hidalgo, head of the Experimental Physics Division at the National Fusion Laboratory at CIEMAT (Center for Energy, Environmental, and Technological Research). The current problem is that people’s needs have multiplied by a factor of 100 throughout history. And advances in this field of research have caused radical changes in our society. In fact, experts estimate that humans’ demand for primary energy will have grown 25% by 2040 and will be close to doubling by the end of the century. These predicted scenarios will require an investment of more than 2 trillion dollars per year in new energy sources according to the World Energy Outlook 2018, published by the International Energy Agency. If this amount is not invested and a viable solution is not found, it could lead to a large-scale energy crisis. Against this backdrop, fusion power stands out as the principal energy source of tomorrow: clean, safe, and, in theory, limitless. Yet, Hidalgo urges caution as “the need for new strategies to generate, convert, and store power represents a colossal challenge,” while the dynamics of energy markets are increasingly impacted by the exponential growth of the population and demand.

  • ITER Industry Day - 4 December 2017 Speech by Mrs Frédérique VIDAL, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation
    ITER Industry Day - 4 December 2017 Speech by Mrs Frédérique VIDAL, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation Honourable Commissioner Arias-Cañete, Ladies and gentlemen, members of the European Parliament, Your excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen, representatives of industry Ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to thank the European Commission and yourself, Commissioner Cañete, for your support of the ITER project and the organisation of this event focusing on the industrial impact of ITER. The ITER project is unique in many ways. It is unique from the perspective that it has the potential to provide us with an abundant source of energy that is clean and free of greenhouse gases by mid-century. Everything points to the fact that we need to fight climate change now and even more so in the future. The COP 23 conference on climate change chaired by Fiji and held in Bonn once again highlighted the hard, already tangible reality of climate change. The One Planet Summit, to be held according to the French President’s wishes on 12 December 2017 in Paris to mark the historic Paris Agreement concluded two years ago, will show - and this point must be stressed - that our commitment is not waning and that innovation is part of the solution. The development of technological innovations as ambitious as fusion requires sustained effort over the long term. In this age of immediacy, major scientific projects of international scope - with ITER being the flagship - have a two-fold advantage. On the one hand, they remind us that we must invest with a long-term perspective in order to surpass the frontiers of knowledge and technology.

    Joint declaration on harassment Date: 8 March, 2018 Together, we the Heads of EU agencies and Joint undertakings commit to zero tolerance towards sexual harassment and we cannot and will not accept harassment of any form in our agencies. We take it upon ourselves to communicate to our staff that harassment in the workplace is never acceptable. We have committed ourselves in accordance with existing laws and particularly the staff regulation, to promote diversity at work and provide our staff with a trusted place in which to work. Equality is one of the fundamental values on which the European Union is built. Gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, is one of the most extreme manifestations of inequality and discrimination. Sexual violence and harassment contradict the principle of gender equality and equal treatment. They constitute gender-based discrimination in employment. Cases of sexual harassment and bullying, while significantly underreported, are a matter of health, safety and well-being in the workplace and need to be responded to effectively and in accordance with existing laws.
