Status of the ITER Cryodistribution

Since the conceptual design of the ITER Cryodistribution many modifications have been applied due to both system optimization and improved knowledge of the clients' requirements. Process optimizations in the Cryoplant resulted in component simplifications whereas increased heat load in some of the superconducting magnet systems required more complicated process configuration but also the removal of a cold box was possible due to component arrangement standardization. Another cold box, planned for redundancy, has been removed due to the Tokamak in-Cryostat piping layout modification. In this proceeding we will summarize the present design status and component configuration of the ITER Cryodistribution with all changes implemented which aim at process optimization and simplification as well as operational reliability, stability and flexibility.
