Yoshino, Ryuji

The Japanese Government designated JAEA as the Domestic Agency of Japan (JADA) just after the entry into force of the ITER Agreement on 24th Oct. 2007. JADA has about 80 persons at Naka-site to carry out the in kind procurement in the ITER Project, and administrative departments in JAEA do jobs necessary for the procurement. According to the Common Understandings on Procurement Allocation, in kind procurements of JADA is about 16% of the total: about a half of superconducting toroidal field (TF) coils (25% of conductors, 100% of structures, 9 windings, case assembly of 9 coils), 100% of conductors for central solenoid coils, the remote handling equipment for shield blankets, high voltage parts of the neutral beam heating system (power supplies, bushing, beam accelerator, etc), 8 gyrotrons and one equatorial launcher for EC heating system, 10% of first wall panels on the shield blanket, 100% of the outer divertor target plate, the atmosphere detritiation system (ADS) in the tritium plant, and some basic diagnostics. The first procurement arrangement for 25% of TF superconductors (NbSn) was concluded on 28th November 2007 between the ITER Organization and JADA.
