The United States is responsible for the design, fabrication, acceptance testing, and delivery of the tokamak cooling water system.
The tokamak cooling water system is designed to cool client systems, such as the first-wall/blanket, vacuum vessel, divertor, and neutral beam injector.
The system interfaces with the majority of ITER plant systems, including the steady state electrical supply, plant control systems, radioactive waste, and the tokamak building.
