 The participants to the Remote Handling IPT kick-off meeting. The main aims of the RH-IPT are to improve communications among various stakeholders involved in maintenance of ITER, to foster shared ownership of RH equipment designs and to promote shared responsibility for the RH compatibility of ITER machine components. As such, members of the RH-IPT have been drawn equally from the areas of RH equipment supply and tokamak design, across the ITER Organization and the ITER Members. The meeting was comprised of plenary sessions to bring members up to speed on the general aims and structure of the IPT, followed by specialized break-out sessions dealing with three main work topics, namely:
 The "remote handling pétanque championships" will no doubt become a regular event on the ITER sporting calendar. Most importantly, the meeting provided an opportunity to build up the multi-party teams working within the specialist topic areas identified for the IPT and establish a timetable for its future activities. Last, but not least, it also gave rise to the first round of the "RH pétanque championships" which will no doubt become a regular event on the ITER sporting calendar. << return to Newsline #133 |
