Bringing together over a hundred participants from industry and associations, the ITER-CODAC meeting, held 27-28 October 2008, had 3 primary purposes: firstly to discuss and get feedback on the “Plant Control Design Handbook” (PCDH) which had just appeared in its first official release. Secondly, to present the procurement strategy and to discuss how to tackle it: how we can help in the specifications for international tender actions and how we act in this arena. Lastly, this event also offered the opportunity for networking.
Fusion for Energy organised this meeting in order to offer constructive criticism of the PCDH to the ITER International Organisation and to encourage those who are involved in building the plant systems to contribute to this process.
During the first day of the meeting a presentation on the PCDH was given by ITER-IO which was followed by a discussion. The afternoon saw working group sessions on procurement, software and hardware issues.
