| Sumario: | The ITER Visible/Infrared Wide Angle Viewing System (WAVS) is a machine protection optical diagnostic that is being developed for ITER. The first two ex-vessel components of WAVS are the Optical Hinge (OH) and Optical Relay Unit (ORU) and both share a common support structure. Equatorial Port 12 (EP12) WAVS should be operational for the first plasma and its facing its Final Design Review (FDR). It is being developed by the Consortium constituted by CEA, CIEMAT, INTA and Bertin Technologies through a Grant Agreement financed by F4E. To compensate vacuum vessel vertical displacements respect to the building during operation, an Optical Hinge (OH) will be placed at the beginning of the ex-vessel area for each Line of Sight (LoS). Each OH is formed by a pair of mirrors one of which is moveable using a piezoactuator. The OHs are attached to the common support which is, in turn, fixed to the Interspace Support Structure. To assure the optical performance, the common support structure has to withstand operational loads with low deviation and tilt. In addition, the structural integrity of the common structure has to be maintained in case of seismic or accidental loads as it is classified as a Safety Relevant component. This work exposes the analyses performed to face the FDR of ex-vessel WAVS in EP12. It comprises the structural analyses performed by CIEMAT for the OH–ORU common support structure to assure its integrity according to RCC-MR Code and the detailed model of one OH LoS to check also the diagnostic optical requirements. |
