Approach for Safety Assurance and Structural Integrity of ITER

Abstract

Following the Engineering Design Activity of ITER, joint implementation towards construction has been made among the international partners. To this end, in Japan, efforts have been made to develop a fundamental approach for ensuring safety and establishing associated codes and standards for structural and seismic integrity in licensing preparation. This paper gives an outline of a safety approach and presents an outline of technical codes for the integrity of unique ITER components.
