The International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aims at qualifying and characterising materials capable to withstand the intense neutron flux originated in the D-T reactions of future fusion reactors thanks to a neutron flux with a broad peak at 14 MeV capable to provide >20 dpa/fpy on small specimens also qualified in this Engineering Validation Engineering Design Activity (EVEDA) phase. All its broad mandate has been successfully achieved, the only pending, is the validation of its Accelerator with its conventional Facilities.
The validation of IFMIF’s accelerators will be achieved in this on-going phase until December 2019 with the operation of a deuteron accelerator at 125 mA CW mode and 9 MeV, which is presently under installation and commissioning in Rokkasho (Japan).
The target availability of IFMIF facility, 70%, is one of its main challenges since demands extraordinary individual availabilities of the sub-systems, like the accelerator with 87%. LIPAc, the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator presents a broad spectrum of ancillary equipment to optimize its operational beam time.
A description of the Nuclear HVAC of IFMIF has already been reported [1].
The present paper describes the design of LIPAc of the Conventional systems among which we address the Electrical Power Supply, the Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC), the Heat Rejection System (HRS), the Service Water System (SWS), the Service Gas System (SGS), the Cryoplant System (Cryo) and the Fire Protection System (FPS).
