1. Fusion Energy
Principles & Advantages
Principles
•
Hydrogen nuclei fuse and release
large amounts of energy; it powers the
stars
•
On earth, the most efficient process is
a D-T reaction which requires a
plasma at 150 000 000 ℃
Advantages
•
Environmental: no long-lasting
radioactive wastes to create a burden
on future generations.
•
Safety: no possibility of “meltdown” or
“runaway reactions”

2. ITER
Genesis & actual participants
1985: “For the benefit of mankind ”
•
ITER originated from the Geneva
Superpower Summit in 1985 where
Gorbachev and Reagan proposed
international effort to develop fusion energy
as “an inexhaustible source of energy for the
benefit of mankind”.
2006 (21/11): China, Europe, India, Japan,
Korea, Russian Federation and the USA
sign the ITER Agreement
World’s biggest fusion
energy research project &
world’s largest S&T
cooperation endeavor
7 Parties:

2. ITER
Aims & perspectives
Demonstrate the scientific and Technological
viability of controlled fusion for power
production.
Study and optimise plasma (heated gas)
behaviour
Produce about 500 MW of fusion power (Q>10)
Demonstrate the technologies required for
fusion for power stations
Operate for about 20 years
It is a milestones toward an indu-strial tokamak

2. ITER
Project Organization
ITER Organization (IO), Cadarache, undertakes Planning/Design, reactor
assembly (with QA, safety, licensing & schedule), & operational start
(Testing+ Commissioning) of ITER device. + few components (ex: He
refrigerators)
ITER France agency, Cadarache, is in charge of ground preparation,
safety related questions on behalf of IO, & on-site staff welcoming.
7 Domestic Agencies manage the operational procurements and budget
relative to their contribution. The DAs deliver in-kind contribution to IO
in the form of components, works & services.
Fusion for Energy (F4E) is the European Domestic Agency

4. F4E Contractual Process
Contracting Principles
Contracts have to comply with the principles of:
transparency, proportionality, equal treatment and nondiscrimination. No ‘juste retour’.
Best value for money is our policy => “Design must follow budget”
with a strong cost and quality awareness
with pragmatic risk assessment
Tenders are opened to all European economic operators through fair
competition
but we may go worldwide if necessary.
We connect with other Domestic Agencies in order to share
information on best practices and suppliers.
Strong cooperation between F4E and IO (and some Joint Tenders)

4. F4E Contractual Process
Procurement Procedures
F4E contracts with organisations via:
Grants through Calls for proposals
Procurement contracts through calls for tender
Grants support R&D at 40% through specific contracts or Framework
Partnership Agreements (FPA)
Procurement contracts provide goods, works or services through:
Open procedure : All interested economic operators can submit a full tender
Restricted procedure 2 phases
1: Pre-selection following a Call for Expression of Interest
2: Call for Tender: only pre-selected companies may submit a tender.
Competitive dialogue: For particularly complex contracts, collaboration with
industry to clarify technical specifications
Negotiated procedure : Only for contracts below 250.000 Euro and in
exceptional cases (justification required)

5. F4E Industrial Policy and Tools
Intellectual Property: Revised Approach
GRANTS
Ownership of
IP
Access rights
to IP
Beneficiaries are full owners
of Background and
Foreground
F4E was exclusive owner of
any Foreground
F4E has full access to
Background & Foreground.
F4E was owner of
Foreground + full access to
Background if needed.
F4E can sub-licence
Foreground for any purpose
Protection of
IP Assets
PROCUREMENT
(Before)
Beneficiaries are fully
responsible for protecting
foreground – If they do not
protect we will do it (on our
behalf)
F4E-Czech industry meeting
Contractor had access to
Foreground under conditions
to be agreed with F4E
F4E protected foreground
resulting from the activities
carried out by the contractor
03/10/2012
PROCUREMENT
(Now)
To be decided on ad-hoc
basis:
• 100% Contractor
• Shared ownership
• 100 % F4E
F4E has full access to
Background & Foreground
When contractor is not full
owner it will have access
to foreground for specific
uses to be agreed
If contractor is owner, it is
obliged to protect under
patent, otherwise F4E will
do it.
Cost of protection borne
by owner

Conclusion
ITER is a unique and major industrial project worldwide.
F4E is the main entry gate for European companies working for Fusion
(and associated technologies).
F4E tenders can help companies to gain know how for other applications.
F4E can help you to find partners if necessary (see specific F4E Portal
tools)
