Notice Title

PIN - DIVERTOR REMOVAL TOOL DEVELOPMENT

Notice Description

UKAEA is entering a multi-year decommissioning programme of Joint European Torus experimental fusion device at the end of 2023. The intend is for the inside of the vessel to be taken apart using existing remote-handling capabilities. One of the key components that need to be cut are the Divertor Coils, which are located inside of the tokamak. The part provides cutting challenges because of requirements to cut it 'cold', 'dry', the need to deploy it in a geometrically restricted space, and the fact it will be operated by robotic systems. UKAEA will issue a contract through a competitive tender to develop a "Divertor Removal Tool". The Contractor will undertake a full design, prototyping, and testing cycle as outlined in section .
