Fusion for Energy
The experimental fusion reactor ITER will require 4 Upper Launchers and 1 Equatorial Launcher for the injection
of the Electron Cyclotron mm-waves into the plasma for plasma breakdown, heating, current drive and control of
instabilities. The system is in a preliminary and final design phase depending on the components. A Call for
Tenders for the finalization of the design, manufacture, assembly, test and delivery to ITER of the Upper Launcher
plugs and ex-vessel waveguide systems for the Upper and Equatorial plugs will be launched in 2020. The report
outlines the scope, design as well as its procurement schedule and strategy.
