3 Project Structure Page 3

4 ITER Structure An International Collaboration of 7 members China European Union India Japan Republic of Korea Russian Federation United States of America The ITER Organization (An International Organization) Seven Domestic Agencies (One per Member) Governed by the ITER Council with Delegates from each member Page 4

5 The ITER concept of Value Project uses Euros and a unique currency developed for the project in 1989: ITER Units of Account (IUA or kiua) Avoids dealing in multiple currencies with fluctuations and variable purchasing power parity Original project value 3577 kiua (now increased) No true cash equivalent value Members do not report actual cost, nor does the IO manage their costs (kiua only) Parties are responsible to provide their contributions in-kind and support the IO in-cash Current IUA conversion ~1.55 Page 5

6 Motivation of Parties and Procurement Allocation Parties to the ITER Agreement provide contributions In-Cash,~10% of total value, and In-Kind" or in lieu of cash ~90% of value The Tokamak, major components, and buildings are contributed in-kind The Common Understandings on Procurement Allocation is the document which divides up the in-kind contributions The ITER Agreement was developed to meet the objectives of the parties individually and collectively: Build a Tokamak that meets the Project Requirements Develop the technical industrial base of the parties Pursue national interests in specific areas The Procurement Allocations were not developed strictly for efficiency of lowest cost of construction Conductors as an example Six parties involved in fabrication of conductor Page 6

7 ITER Value ITER Total Value kiua DA kiua Value In-Kind 90% IO value In-Cash 10% R&D 80 kiua Procurement Package to DAs IO Staff External Services Contract PA* PA Subcontractor DA DA Industry Research institute * PA = Procurement Arrangement Page 7

8 Role of IO and DAs in Project Management ITER Organization (IO) Maintains central management and integration Design Authority and Nuclear Operator Overall scope, schedule, and cost control (including change control) Domestic Agencies (DA) Manage the work of the member Execute Procurement Arrangements Place and manage industrial contracts Integrate with other Domestic Agencies Page 8

9 Work Flow IO completes the design in accordance with the PA type Conceptual Preliminary Final Work is turned over to the DA for in-kind procurement based on one PA type DAs pick up management of work at a different point Scheduling and project management work (including credit earned) varies with the PA type IO retains design authority which requires a high degree of design collaboration Page 9

36 Project Performance Reviews and Recovery Plans Negative schedule and cost variances must be addressed with recovery plans Monthly performance reporting and review focusses management attention on areas of delay Responsible Officers develop recovery actions with their DA counterparts for action tracking Revisions to schedule and cost estimates are made through the approved change control process to implement needed changes Page 36

37 The Design and Cost Situation as it stands Design of core Tokamak systems (build to print) now nearing completion Numerous models and drawings are being completed as fabrication begins for vessel and magnets Building construction has begun without complete systembuilding interface information Many Functional Spec systems still in definition phase There have been delays in Procurement Arrangements due to incomplete design and discussions relating to IO and DA work scope boundaries Cost and schedule uncertainty and risk are a function of these factors Page 37

38 ITER Project Baseline History Original Joint Implementation Agreement Based on Final Design Report year construction period (no detail) 3577 kiua total, IO 477 kiua 2007 planning start st plasma Recognition that the design was not complete st plasma Baseline results had high technical risk A baseline was developed with first plasma in 2019 ITER Council approved the 2019 baseline in July kiua cap placed on the project Natural Disaster in Japan March 2011 IO and DAs are currently replanning Page 38

39 Replanning Activities in 2011 Impact of Japan Earthquake In March, Japan suffered a tremendous natural disaster that has impacted the ITER Project The Japanese Domestic Agency Facility at Naka sustained damage R&D work has been interrupted Testing facilities have been affected Industrial suppliers and the national government are working to recover operations and production The ITER Project is now replanning the schedule and cost to incorporate the impacts of these events It is foreseen that the 1 st plasma date may slip, the team will work to minimise delays Page 39

48 Five Major Points 1. Start at the beginning and don t get ahead of yourself Don t try to schedule more than you know 2. It s all about the money 3. Schedules are part of an integrated project management system 4. Integrating the overall process of planning and performance management 5. The skills of the global team, and our ability to work together will determine the outcome Page 48
