7. Modification

7.1 Modification

Identifier of the previous contract award notice : 424823-2023
Identifier of the modified contract : CON-0001
Reason for modification : Need for modifications because of circumstances which a diligent buyer could not predict.
Description : Following a Change Notice of the Vacuum Vessel Procurement Arrangement, that has been issued by ITER IO, the repair of the Field Joints of Sector 4 should take place in the factory before delivery to the ITER site in Cadarache. In addition, in the frame of the field joint repair of the lower side of the Vacuum Vessel European Sectors, the contractor is requested to qualify the already available ITER commercial 3-axis portable milling machine in overhead configuration, that will guarantee several advantages on the Field Joint repair activities.

7.1.1 Change

Description of modifications : The required repair on the Field Joints of Sector 4, should be performed by a combination of weld metal buildup and re-machining at sector level for the upper side only. This re-machining is necessary to ensure the weldability onsite of the sector taking into account the lessons learned from Korean sectors repair. Furthermore, the contractor shall perform all engineering studies needed for the qualification of the ITER portable milling machine and shall develop any additional engineering analysis necessary to ensure that the portable milling machine is able to re-machine the full lower D-shape of the sectors. It is necessary that the original contractor performs the additional work because a change of contractor (i) cannot be made for technical reasons because the sectors are under manufacture and the original contractor will need to perform the additional work as part of the manufacturing phase, and (ii) would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Joint Undertaking.
