Description

The operation of a thermonuclear experimental reactor requires the simultaneous availability of a large number of basic sub- systems. One of the main goal of the operating staff is to maximize the time duration and the potential performances of the experimental campaigns. The implementation of availability indicators allows for both the optimization of the maintenance periods and the increase of reliability of the device. The data collected along the lifetime of the tokamak Tore Supra are feeding the international database which will be used to define the operation procedures of the next international thermonuclear experimental reactor ITER.
