STRONG COLLABORATION WITH INDUSTRY NEEDED

WE ARE ENTERING A NEW PHASEDear partners and future partners of the ITER Project,

It is my honour to address you for the first time in my new role as Director-General of the ITEROrganization. The ITER Project, as you all know, is one of the largest international sciencecollaborations in the history of mankind. The seven ITER Members represent 35 nations, half theworld’s population and around 85 percent of its gross industrial product.

As we are convening here in Marseille for the sixth ITER Business Forum, ITER has reached a new anddecisive phase: we are past the time of "learning" and we are now entering into manufacturing andpreparations for assembly. This new phase requires a new organization – one tailored to meet thesetwo major challenges, because what we have to deliver now is both a research and an industrial facility.

Over the coming weeks and months we will progressively implement the action plan I proposed tothe ITER Council, and which has been accepted unanimously by all partners. This action plan will resultin some drastic changes regarding the organization and the conduct of this project. But implementingnew approaches and new procedures is inevitable if we want to succeed. ITER is a unique chance todemonstrate that tokamak fusion is manageable during this century – there will be no other.

I therefore want to wholeheartedly invite and encourage you to come on board and to join us in ourquest for a new clean source of energy. We cannot build ITER without strong collaboration from industry.

During this two-day event you will have several opportunities, both formal and informal, to meetwith representatives of the ITER Organization, our Domestic Agencies and other institutions involvedin the ITER Central Team. We will do all we can to provide you with a better understanding of howthe ITER Organization works, how the tokamak works, and how we manage the complex proceduresfor building this machine through in-kind procurements from the seven ITER Members.

And please always bear in mind that as a partner of ITER you are not just providing components ortechnology. You are part of one of the world’s most challenging scientific, industrial and humanventures. Fusion’s energetic potential is unparalleled. It is within our grasp to change the energyfuture of generations to come.

Bernard Bigot

ITER Director-General

An academic, scientist and high-level civil servant who "has always been concerned with energyissues," Bernard Bigot, from France, is the third Director-General of the ITER Organization. "Weare now entering into manufacturing and preparations for assembly," he says. "This new phaserequires a new organization – one tailored to meet these two major challenges, because whatwe have to deliver now is both a research and an industrial facility."

ITERCENTRAL TEAM

THE ITER SUPPLY CHAIN

A TEAM OF NATIONSSeven ITER Members – representing 35 nations – are sharingthe responsibility for building the ITER machine and facilities.During the negotiations that preceded the signing of the ITERAgreement, the original sharing of procurement was decidedbetween the Members – about 45.5 percent for Europe, and 9.1percent each for China, India, Japan, Korea, the RussianFederation and the United States. The lion's share – 90 percent –will be delivered by means of in-kind contributions. That meansthat in the place of cash, the Members will be deliveringcomponents and buildings directly to the ITER Organization.

Procurement Arrangements are a unique ITER invention.Each one of these documents governs the procurement ofplant systems, components, or site construction, detailing allthe necessary technical specifications and managementrequirements. The value of each PAs is expressed in ITERUnits of Account (IUAs). This currency was devised for ITER tomeasure the value of in-kind contributions consistently overtime, effectively neutralizing market fluctuations.Procurement allocations were assigned among the Memberson the basis of valuations of components; contributing 9.1percent of the project, therefore, becomes a matter ofadding up the IUA value of the different contributions.

UPCOMING

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The ITER Organization, now in its eighth year, is well into the construction of the world’s largesttokamak and is preparing for the next phase: assembly. A total of 104 out of 139 ProcurementArrangements have been completed, representing 90.5% of the project’s total in-kind value. Thismeans that ITER is now in the hands of industry.

But this is by no means the end of the ITER business story. There are still some very attractive andimportant opportunities in the pipeline. During the second quarter of 2015, the call for nominationfor the manufacturing and testing of ITER’s in-vessel coils will be launched, as well as contracts forthe manufacturing of ITER’s diagnostic first wall and the diagnostic port plug. A lot of contractopportunities will also be posted for the Tokamak Complex detritiation system and the Tokamakcooling water system. In the field of electric systems, call for tenders are planned in the comingmonths for the low voltage cable and connectors for the cryostat and the high-voltage connectors.Towards the fourth quarter of this year, contracts are planned for remote maintenance operations,maintenance tooling, and port cell equipment.

Last but not least, procurement will soon start for the ITER assembly phase. The assembly of the ITERmachine – with one million components – will be one of the most complex engineering endeavours everundertaken and one requiring a broad range of skills and expertise, tooling and equipment to achieve.

In order to inform our industrial partners about the ITER procurement strategy for assembly at an earlystage, and thus enable them to best prepare for the tendering phase, we are organizing a dedicatedAssembly Information Day which will be held on 21 May at ITER Headquarters. Please consult the ITERwebsite or visit the ITER exhibition stand at IBF/2015 for more information.

In order to successfully build ITER, the ITER Organization – together with the seven Members –relies on highly skilled industrial partners as well as national laboratories. We are looking for themost technically sound and economically efficient solutions for the challenges ahead.

Together we can and will develop the necessary competencies for taking fusion energy to thecommercial scale.
