For Association Tekes, participation in JET activities is vital:

• Task Force Leaders/Deputies (presently 3) • S/T Order and Notifications and JOC secondees (presently 2)• In near future ITER-like Wall (ILW) experiment at high priority• Preparation in the DT campaign• Real European-wide collaboration very important to a small association• Estonian Research Unit participates in the JET TF-FT work programme Active involvement in the AUG workprogramme to be continued: • AUG experiments and modelling (plasma-wall, edge, transport, fast particles, …)• Diagnostics development• Ceiling of Baseline Support (BS) a real problem here

Future devices where collaboration foreseen: W7-X, Satellite tokamaks (JT-60SA, …)

Future EFDA Physics & Materials Activities

Emphasis in EFDA physics studies on Transport, SOL, plasma-wall and burning plasma physics studies

(JET, AUG, TF-PWI, TGs, ITPA) Modelling, code development (ASCOT, ELMFIRE) and integration

(TF-ITM) Diagnostics development (JET, AUG & F4E/ITER) Goal Oriented Training Estonian Research Unit participates in the TF-PWI work

programme

Materials research mainly for PPPT- FeCrC-potential and He effects in stainless steels

- MD simulations of mixed materials of PFC - ODS steels characterisation - Be-C-W-potentials, BeD chemical erosion

EFDA Power Plant Physics and Technology

Tekes will participate in the 3PT Implementing Agreement which is under preparation

• modelling (edge/SOL, fast particles, transport, integrated modelling)• materials research• diagnostics (NPA and magnetics)• remote handling

PS funding and BS ceiling are serious issues, in particular, if some of the present F4E/ITER activity is replaced by EFDA Tasks

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND

VTT PROCESSES

• To develop the Divertor Test Platform (DTP2) as a R&D and testing centre for remote handling operations for ITER

• Diagnostics – micromechanical magnetometer (MEMS)

• Assembly welding issues and welding robots

• Materials research

• ITER scenario development and modelling support

• R&D support to industry related to ITER procurements

• ITER CODAC work

R&D Contribution for F4E and ITER

Summary / Future EFDA priorities for Tekes

1) JET has the highest priority- it is very important to small Associations- it strengthens the integration of the EU programme

2) AUG is also very important for Tekes programme- flexible machine - Tekes integrated really well into the AUG workprogramme

3) PPPT / Demo - remote handling - materials and plasma modelling

4) F4E and ITER- remote handling systems- diagnostics- assembly welding issues and robot- ITER scenario modelling
