Facing the challenge: The attendees to the kick-off meeting in Yokohama last week.

A kick-off meeting was held on 9-10 July on procurement for ITER TF coils and TF coil structures Toshiba Keihin Prroduct Operations in Yokohama, Japan. Toshiba was awarded a contract in February this year for the development activities relating to Phase II of the TF coils and TF coil structures procurement arrangements, both signed in November 2008 by the Japanese Domestic Agency, JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency). Neil Mitchell, Magnet Division Head, and members of the TF Coil Section were present to mark the event and understand how the Japanese industry is going to face the challenge. Norikiyo Koizumi and Hideo Nakajima, responsible officers at JAEA for the TF coils and the TF coil structures, respectively, summarized their work plan and the contractual agreements signed with TOSHIBA as main contractor. On their side, TOSHIBA, represented by an important delegation, presented their company. Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), one of key sub-contractors for the fabrication of the TF coil structures was also present.
