Action Item List from April ARIES meeting
Parties Due Date Needed Action Actions Accomplished (dated 5/15/06)
Bromberg 10-May Coil Structural Material Choice - Determine the coil structural material based on Lailaâs activation analysis and forward to El-Guebaly and Waganer. Bromgberg: Decided on JK2LB material that will be used on ITER Center Solenoid. Assume same strength allowables.
El-Guebaly 10-May ÊRevise Radial Build at Minimum Plasma to Coil Separation ö (Per Laila, there seems to have been an error in the systems code and Jim is correcting the error. For the 7.75 m machine, the minimum separation distance should be 1.3 m, not 1.21 m as mentioned at the meeting.). Need new 7.75 m strawman from Jim Jim Lyon is stuggling to obtain a 7.75 m solution. Several approaches were offered and will be tried. If successful, he will forward the new 7.75 m strawman to Laila by 19 May.
Ku 10-May ARE Coil and Plasma Geometry ö Provide Coil and Plasma geometry in IBP format to X. Wang. Long Poe Ku is holding off pending the Lyon solution. Then it will take about a week to generate coil and plasma geometry.
Lyon 10-May Provide Neutron Source Profile to Mau and Wilson ö Will aid in definition of the divertor and the NWL calculations Jim said that the Peak neutron source profile will be provided after he issues the strawman.


Lyon 10-May Check Delta-Min Used in Code ö Determine if the code has a separation distance of 1.26 m for the R=7.5 or 7.75m machine. The error was found and fixed. Delta-min now matches Laila's and Long-Poe's values.
Lyon 10-May Check Power to the Divertor - Should include alpha power (~ 41 MW extra) Jim said this alpha power was correctly modeled in the code and the April 06 slide was in error
X. Wang 10-May Coil Structure Thickness Estimate - Based on present coil structure stress analysis, estimate recommended thicknesses for intercoil structure and strongback structure for each general stress region and percent of total area covered.Ê (For example on intercoil structure,Ê 0-20 MPa, 5 cm thickness, 35% of area, 20-40 MPa, 10 cm thick, 20% of area, and so on.Ê Ditto for strongback.)Ê Then include penetrations and sum and average for intercoil and strongback structure thicknesses. Multiplying these by respective areas and densities would yield Coil Structure mass. Xueren analyzed the stress and deflections (for the 7 m case), estimated the local thicknesses and then provided average thicknesses of 20 cm for the intercoil structure and 48 cm for the strongback structure. An additional question regarding neutronic shielding arose later about the average thickness of the outboard inter-coil structure which is estimated to be about 16 cm and 28 cm for the outboard and inboard structures, respectively.
Ku 15-May VF coil Definition ö Need to add to core definition and code assessment Long Poe KuÊ provided a set for the 7.5 m configuration which can be scaled as necessary.
Mau 15-May Modify Divertor Plate Analysis to R = 7.75 m machine ö Need baseline assessment Mau will do a manual estimate of divertor by Friday, 19 May
Mau 19-May Define baseline divertor solution ö Provide physical location of divertor and average and peak heat loads. TK will do a manual estimate of divertor coverage fraction by Friday, 19 May. He will send the divertor location to Xueren to include in the CAD drawings.
Najmabadi 19-May Provide definition of Vacuum Pumping System - This will be helpful in providing additional credence to cost definition.  
Waganer 19-May Resize the maintenance transporter. Waganer is working on thisÊ
Wang 19-May Generate CAD drawings for all components, including divertor system and penetrations. Send input file to UW. Need radial build from Laila. Wang is working on this area.Ê He needs the transporter and HS sizes.
Wang 19-May Provide some definition of main FPC support structure ö This will be helpful in providing additional credence to cost definition. Wang will generate this data.
Wang/Waganer 19-May Define Reactor Building Content and Sizes ö Provide definition and volume of the Reactor BuildingÊ Waganer and Wang are working on this definition
Waganer 25-May Availability Value ö With the baseline maintenance approach, analyze the maintenance actions and estimate the likely 10th of kind plant availability.Ê Until this value is provided, assume an availability of 85%, e.g., ARIES-AT. Waganer has started on this
Waltrop/Waganer 25-May Coil Structure Fabrication Approach and Cost Estimate - Determine if chosen coil structural material is suitable for Arc-Deposition fabrication. Develop a cost estimate for the coil structure. John Waldrop, Boeing, has joined the team and participated in the call. He has started looking at the requirements Waganer has generated.ÊÊ
Wilson/El-Guebaly 30-May Update NWL distribution for 7.75 m case ö Needed for divertor and TBR calculations. Need neutron source profile from Jim.  
El-Guebaly 30-May Define radial build for LiPb/SiC system. Laila will provide it after issuing the reference LiPb/FS/He radial build.
Lyon/El-Guebaly/Wang 30-May Determine Replacement Component Cost ö Determine the cost of the blanket and divertor segments. The average size of blanket is 2 x s 2 m and the largest is 3.9 m high.
Wilson/El-Guebaly June-July Perform 3-D Neutronic Analysis. Need CAD input file from UCSDÊ for 7.75 m machine, including blanket variation, non-uniform SOL, divertor system, and penetrations. Wilson and El-Guebaly is holding off pending the Lyon solution.
Waganer 30-May Assess Cost/Benefit for HX, Brayton Turbines. Quantify best value for heat exchangers and Brayton turbines
