Maintenance Strategy
Keeping an activated machine running through remote, modular maintenance.
- Approach
- Remote, modular
Because an operated machine is activated, maintenance is remote and modular: replaceable blanket modules, divertor cassettes and first-wall panels swapped by remote handling. Fast, reliable maintenance is what turns a working machine into an available power plant.
Maintainability is designed in from the start, not added later.
Common questions
What is the maintenance strategy?
Modular components and remote handling so activated parts — first wall, blanket, divertor — can be inspected and replaced quickly. Maintainability is designed in from the start.
Why does maintenance shape the design?
Because how fast worn components can be swapped sets plant availability, making remote maintainability a first-order design driver rather than an afterthought.
