As a pioneer in Chinese fusion research and a key part of China Fusion Energy Company, the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) is at the forefront of developing vital Codes & Standards (C&S). This presentation shares our experience in establishing key domestic standards (covering vacuum, materials, breeding blankets, and safety) and leading international efforts, including publishing the...
In-Vessel components in fusion nuclear systems have to withstand a very harsh combination of loads and environmental conditions which leads to designs that are significantly more complex and distinct from those of fission components. The ability to accurately predict component performance in in-vessel conditions, factoring in suitable design margins against critical failure mechanisms, is an...
Started from 2022, an ISO standard item was proposed to summarise requirements to the safety systems due to the application of the superconducting technology in magnetic fusion facilities. The initial consideration was to analyse how the radiation safety and new technologies such as the superconducting technology may be cross-affected. To date, it is moving towards the ballot of the final DIS...
UKAEA is committed to the development of codes and standards for the wide-ranging fusion technologies. In this talk, an overview of the UKAEA engagement with codes and standards development organisation such as ASME, BSI and ISO will be presented considering the UK fusion regulatory framework. Also, UKAEA view on key challenges facing the realisation of fusion codes and standards will be...
