Popis: The JT-60SA Vacuum Vessel (VV) was manufactured as the 10 sectors split in the factory and these sectors were weld-assembled as the 360-degree torus with the design offset value of the weld shrinkage. The dimensions as the 10 m scale torus were well controlled regardless of the thin wall thickness of 18 mm and a large amount of welding line due to the double wall structure and 72 port penetrations. The final VV 20-degree sector was installed into the 340-degree sector of the tokamak with the TF coil and the VV Thermal Shield, and the VV was weld-jointed as a torus. This paper reports the design concept to reduce the safety factor and welding amount to achieve the dimension specified, and the result of the VV manufacturing.
