Manufacturing Design of the MITICA Slow Interlock System and Thermal Unit - Anex B - Technical Specification

This document contains the manufacturing design of the Slow Interlock System and the Thermal Unit for the MITICA test bed in the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility. It is also the technical specification for subcontracting the construction, software development, transportation to the site, on-site installation, commissioning, and documentation of the Slow Interlock System and Thermal Processing Unit. The MITICA Slow Interlock System takes care of the global functions of machine protection during the operation of the MITICA test bed, providing continuous monitoring of abnormal events, automated protection actions on plant units, and logging events and data relevant to MITICA equipment protection. The MITICA Slow Interlock System neither manages nor implements any function related to personnel safety. The MITICA Thermal Unit acquires and processes, for protection purposes, all signals from temperature sensors (source, grounded grid, neutralizer and electron dump, residual ion dump, calorimeter, and cryogenic pump).
