Summary:
The ITER tokamak is planned to produce a “burning plasma” where 10 times the energy is produced than is required to heat the plasma. While the achievement of a burning plasma is still years away, substantial knowledge and experience has already been produced in the design and construction of a nuclear fusion facility. ITER project planning, design, engineering, procurement, installation and assembly activities have generated may documents that would be useful towards the development of a fusion pilot plant (FPP). Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing a procedure to manage requests from private US companies for ITER documentation. The status of this activity will be presented.
