Abstract
The first boundary feedthroughs of the ITER heating neutral beam (HNB) injectors are key components of the neutral beam system. They allow the penetration of signals and power from/to the beam line components (BLC) and front end components (FEC), through the confinement boundary of ITER.The design status of the two types of feedthroughs is presented in the first part. This includes the design requirements, cabling strategy, the analysis done and the maintenance strategies. The second part deals with the qualification of the feedthroughs. Being made of brittle material and not covered by mechanical standard a qualification by testing strategy is proposed based on existing rules and norms.The design of the feedthroughs is almost finished and satisfies all the requirements. The next step is the procurement for their integration in the MITICA [1] test bed and the detailed definition of the qualification tests to be carried out for the HNB feedthroughs.
