Quality Plan for the Agreement of Collaboration F4E-CNR for Resistive Wall Mode Control Coil Power Supply procurement

This quality plan gives a description of the organization set up to perform the Broader Approach activities and in particular those foreseen in the framework of the JT-60 International Project Team and documents the main processes of the project and quality management system implemented for the procurements of the systems that the Consorzio RFX, on behalf of CNR (Italian National Research Council), has to deliver for the JT-60SA satellite tokamak programme. Consorzio RFX acts for CNR as the Voluntary Contributor Designated Institution (VC-DI) defined in the Agreement of Collaboration (AoC). These systems are: - the Quench Protection system for the superconducting magnets and - the Power Supply system for the in-vessel sector coils for RWM control (RWM-PS). The main processes and quality management system are the same for both the procurements, and this document is specifically referred to the Resistive Wall Mode control Coil Power Supply for the Satellite Tokamak Programme. It is pointed out that the organization described in this document was also adopted to carry out the preparatory work to mitigate the risks related to the procurement of this system. The main tasks of this preparatory work are summarized below: - the studies and FEM analyses to characterize the coil impedance versus frequency and the coil efficiency in producing the desired magnetic field in the area of interest; - the studies for the definition of the requirements for the RWM-PS; - the development of a prototype (being the dynamic requirements very demanding) of the key part of the system, before the PA and AoC sign, to gain confidence on technical feasibility and availability of suitable semiconductors.
