Design ReviewDesign Review• Launched: November last year• Goal: to arrive at new baseline design this year through

endorsement by the ITER Council• Involves all fusion community• Will intensify the involvement of all stakeholders in the

ITER Project • Procedure:

– Until December 2006, experts from around the world have contributed possible design issues through issue cards.

– 8 working groups have collected and prioritized the issue cards and are preparing a workplan to resolve them.

– The workplan was reported to a Technical Advisory Group in April.

– Baseline Design 2007 is due to be delivered to the ITER Council / Science and Technology Advisory Committee in the third quarter of 2007.
