The United States is providing design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of four port plugs, specifically the upper ports (U11, U14), and equatorial ports (E3, E9), as well as support for the integration of 17 tenant diagnostics into these ports and eight associated supporting structures in the ports.
Port integration for four port plugs requires integration of the associated tenant diagnostic and functional systems that will be installed near the tokamak. These ports will house diagnostics delivered by US ITER as well as systems delivered by the ITER Organization, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, and Russia.
