Overview and status of ITER internal components

The internal components of ITER are one of the most design and technically challenging components of the ITER machine, and include the Blanket System and the Divertor. The Blanket System successfully went through its Final Design Review in April 2013 and now it is entering into the procurement phase. The design and qualification of the Divertor with a full-tungsten armour was successfully completed and this enabled the decision in November 2013 to start operation with this material option. This paper summarizes the engineering design, the R&D, the technology qualification and procurement status of the Blanket System and of the Divertor of the ITER machine. (c) 2014 ITER Organization.
