First Plasma Sub Project Baseline for U.S. Contributions to ITER Project2Background – May 2016 Report to Congress

Report excerpts:“For the U.S. in‐kind effort going forward, DOE will:… 3) establish a CD‐2 performance baseline in FY
2017; …”
“By the time the FY 2019 budget is developed,
there is expected to be an approved ITER baseline
to FP, … ““… and the U.S. ITER Project to FP will be baselined
in FY 2017.““DOE will baseline the U.S. ITER Project (the in‐kind contribution to the IO) to FP in FY 2017.”“Prior to the FY 2019 budget submittal, we will bein a better position to assess the project as we will
have … a baseline for the U.S. ITER Project throughFP, …”First Plasma Sub Project Baseline for U.S. Contributions to ITER Project3

U.S. ITER Subproject StructureFirst Plasma (Subproject‐1 (SP‐1))• An ITER operational phase that includes: 1) integrated
systems testing at low power, and 2) achievement of First
Plasma and integrated systems testing of magnets at fullfield.
Post‐First Plasma (Subproject‐2 (SP‐2))• A series of stages including fabrication, installation, andoperations/research following the First Plasma phase,leading to achievement of full performance ofengineering systems and operation with deuterium andtritium aimed at demonstrating a high‐gain fusion“Burning Plasma.”First Plasma Sub Project Baseline for U.S. Contributions to ITER Project9
