Goals:
• to provide the optimum design, together with a profound
basis of experience for safe operation;
• to provide the skilled professional staff required for the
realization and operation of the ITER Deuterium Tritium Fuel
Cycle and for the tritium handling in ITER;
• to defend and further strengthen the leading European
position in the field.
