Shibama, Yusuke; Masaki, Kei; Sakurai, Shinji; Shibanuma, Kiyoshi; Sakasai, Akira

This paper focuses on the JT-60SA vacuum vessel (VV, 150 tons) and presents manufacturing status of the VV with the design concept and the related technology of welding. The VV is a torus type vessel to ensure the sufficient ultrahigh vacuum space for core plasma and consists of 18 sectors with 73 port penetrations. The dimensions are the maximum major radius of 5.0 m and height of 6.6 m with a double wall structure to secure the stiffness against operational loads. The type 316L stainless steel is selected as a structural material and various welding technologies are developed. The weldment is mostly manipulated to achieve uniform welding quality and the welding conditions are evaluated to explore the distortion reduction, and to increase deposition rate. These resultants are applied to the 20 degree upper half mock-up and the manufacturing procedures, the correction of the welding distortion, and the optimization of constraint jigs are obtained.
