On 17 May, F4E hosted an Information Day to present opportunities in engineering activities for the Test Blanket Modules (TBM) Systems for ITER. The aim of this one-day event was to provide interested companies with basic administrative and technical information related to the forthcoming call for tender F4E-OMF-331 “Framework contract(s) for the supply of engineering support in the area of TBM systems design and technological demonstration”, in particular in areas such as TBM and ancillary systems design, nuclear maintenance, safety analyses and so on. Approximately 45 companies with relevant TBM expertise attended and benefitted from the event as they were able to clarify questions and gain further understanding.
