Broader Approach Activities toward Fusion DEMO
Reactors
IT/E-2

• IAEA 21st Fusion Energy Conference
• (Chengdu 17th October, 2006 )
• Shinzaburo Matsuda
• Japan Atomic Energy Agency

Origin of Broader Approach Activities

• Joint Declaration at the Ministerial Meeting for
  ITER
• (Moscow,28 June 2005) ---- ITER Contribution,
  and its Site are decided.
• EU-JA Joint Paper
• (Attachment to Joint Declaration)
• Joint implementation of broader approach
  activities in the territory of the non-Host, on a
  time frame compatible with the ITER construction
  phase.
• Funding contribution 46bnY, and 339mnE
• Candidate projects
• Start of BA Discussion between EU and JA
  started in July 21, 2005 at Garching.
• Since then, a number of legal and technical
  experts meetings and negotiation meetings have
  been held to develop agreed plans on BA
  activities. Agreement has been made by the
  negotiators on Oct. 2006.

• The BA Activities comprise the following three
  Projects
• 1) Engineering Validation and Engineering Design
  Activities for the
• International Fusion Materials Irradiation
  Facility (IFMIF/EVEDA)
• 2) International Fusion Energy Research Center
  (IFERC),
• a)  A DEMO Design and, RD coordination
  Center
• b)  A Computational Simulation Center
• c)  An ITER Remote Experimentation Center
• 3) Satellite Tokamak Programme
• Upgrade of JT-60 Tokamak to an advanced
  superconducting
• tokamak (JT-60SA)

• Participation of Other ITER Parties
• Article 25 of the Broader Approach Activities
• In the event that any other party to the ITER
  Agreement expresses its intension to participate
  in a project of the Broader Approach Activities,
• the Project Leader concerned shall, after
  consultation with the Project Committee, submit
  to the Steering Committee a proposal concerning
  the terms and conditions of the participation of
  that party in such project.
• The Steering Committee shall decide on the
  participation of that party upon the proposal of
  the Project Leader, and subject to the approval
  of the Parties following their internal
  procedures, may conclude agreements and
  arrangements with that party on such
  participation.

• Summary
• Three Projects are identified suitable for
  Broader Approach
• Activities between EU and Japan. They are
• IFMIF/EVEDA, IFERC and JT-60SA
• Possible schedule for Initial and Signature of
  the Agreement will be
• fixed quite soon. Formal start of the BA
  activities is expected in a
• first half of 2007.
• Establishment of Steering Committee, Nomination
  of Implementing
• Agency, Project Leaders, and Project Team
  Members have to be
• made in near future.
• Preparatory work has been started such as for
  discussion on IFERC,
• on conceptual design of JT-60SA, IFMIF/EDEDA.
• The BA Activities are open to other ITER members
  and their
• participation will be quite welcome.
