Abstract

The vacuum systems for ITER are characterized by the requirements for tritium compatibility, tolerance of high magnetic and radiation fields and remote maintainability. In addition, although the vacuum levels are relatively modest, high pumping speeds are needed to achieve the high gas throughputs required. The design solutions adopted, the status of the development programme and the issues still to be addressed before commitment of the designs to fabrication are described in the paper.
