Popis: The Diagnostic Shielding Modules (DSM) are secondary containers of the ITER diagnostic Port Plugs where shielding and diagnostics components have to be integrated together. For the development of Equatorial Port DSMs several key requirements have to be met by the Port Integrators. First of all, the total dry Plug weight must not exceed the allowable weight (currently 48 ton) in order to guarantee the consistency with the specification of other interfacing systems involved in the Port Plugs maintenance. Secondly, a shielding capability able to limit Shut-Down Dose Rate in the Interspace Zone (man access corridors) below 100 μSv/h needed to allow the human accessibility for the Port Plug sealing disassembly, the inspection and the maintenance of diagnostic components behind the Plug closure plate and in the interspace. Finally, Remote Handling (RH) compatibility for refurbishment of the Port Plug and maintenance of systems integrated is necessary as well. These operations involve activated components that are processed in the Hot Cell. As a result of these demands, the ITER Port Integration team has developed the so called Modular Equatorial DSM able to answer the weight/shielding/RH requirements described above following the ALARA principle and offering a standard infrastructure for the common DSM integration problems.
