Abstract
Abstract The implantation of a nuclear facility, such as ITER (about 20 buildings on 40 ha) requires many preparatory studies, particularly with respect to underground characteristics, topography, layout, deforestation, excavations, networks, fences and roads and impact of seismic hazard on design. This paper presents the main results of these studies, carried out within the European ITER Site Studies Framework. A dedicated paper [O. Guerin, B. Coururier, A. Maas, Transport, logistics and packaging of ITER components, 23rd SOFT, 2004, Venice, Italy] in the conference deals with the transport studies. To choose the site for ITER implantation, detailed geological, hydrogeological and geophysical investigations have been carried out. Taking into account the meteorological data (particularly the main wind direction), topography, access, electrical supply, fluid needs and constraints (gravity systems), buildings and roads have been implemented.
