Original text of ITER annoucment:
Framework Contract for the Development of ITER Tokamak Systems Monitoring
The TSM system is intended to reconstruct information not directly available from sensors and provide a global picture of the ITER machine during operation. To achieve this goal, the TSM system reads the data collected by various OI sensors and then reconstructs, through a set of well-developed dedicated inversion algorithms, the global engineering state of the ITER tokamak. Creation, validation and implementation of the reconstruction algorithms is central in the development of TSM.
The output of the TSM will give the ITER machine operators an integrated view of the machine’s conditions and aid the operators in decision making and adjusting the operation plan as necessary. These data are also useful in validating the tokamak engineering models on which the inversion algorithms are built that is significant to the construction of next-generation fusion devices like DEMO. The TSM system has neither safety nor machine protection classifications and it does not have any real-time control actions.
