Description
Summary:	The two following ITER blanket-relevant Procurement Arrangements (PA) were signed by Russian Federation and ITER Organization in 2014: 1)1.6.P1ARF.01 “Blanket First Wall” (signed on 14-th of February, 2014);2)1.6.P3.RF.01 “Blanket Module Connections” (signed on 19-th of December, 2014). The first PA is devoted to the development, manufacturing, testing and procuring to ITER site of 179 Enhanced Heat Flux (EHF) First Wall (FW) Panels. These FW panels are intended to withstand the heat flux from plasma up to 4.7 MW/m2, and there are two institutions in Russian Federation responsible for the manufacturing, testing and delivering of these panels on the ITER site: JSC “NIIEFA” (Efremov Institute) and JSC “NIKIET”. JSC “NIIEFA” (Efremov Institute) will manufacture the plasma-facing components (PFC) of EHF FW Panels and perform the final assembling of the panels while JSC “NIKIET” will manufacture the FW beam structures, load-bearing structures of PFC and the all the elements of panel attachment system. As for the second PA (“Blanket Module Connectors”) the JSC “NIKIET” is the alone official Supplier and will manufacture and procure blanket flexible supports, electrical insulating key pads and shield block/vacuum vessel electrical connectors. This article briefly describes the joint activity of JSC “NIKIET” and Efremov Institute in the framework of 1.6.P1ARF.01 “Blanket First Wall” Procurement Arrangement and the material on the activity on the second PA. The main achievements on both PAs (during the period of 2014–2015) are presented and also critical issues and plans are underlined.
