Integration of diagnostics in ITER buildings

ITER Diagnostic systems extend from plasma to the various diagnostic areas where they are controlled and acquired data is processed. Diagnostic equipment is found at three levels of the Tokamak Building, within 21 port cells, the gallery and also at three levels of Diagnostic Area. Diagnostic equipment is also located in other buildings, such as the Hot Cell Facility for neutron testing and port plug receipt and preparation. This paper describes the relationship of the ITER Diagnostics with the Buildings and highlights the design requirement and solutions of satisfying this interface acceptably to diagnostic and building performance.
