Port Cell (PC) rooms in the ITER tokamak building host devices required for Plugs operation and provide connection to services. During Plasma Operation State, Vacuum Vessel ports sealing interface provides vacuum tightness first confinement barrier as essential functions. When a Plug needs be replaced or maintained, this significant component must removed reinstalled. The general strategy has been reviewed resulting modification proposals address requirements static dynamic management of...
The size of the gaps around ITER equatorial and upper ports has associated a certain tolerance due to manufacturing installation. This variability an impact on nuclear responses at magnets port interspace maintenance locations. effect is not usually considered as neutronic reference models represent nominal configuration. paper aims estimate gap heating in during plasma operation shut-down dose rate location taking advantage set MCNP simulations with different configurations. novel modelling...
