Abstract
This paper deals with pre-concept studies of DEMO
divertor cassette-to-vacuum vessel locking systemunder
the work program WP13-DAS-07-T06: Divertor Remote
Maintenance System pre-concept study.An iterative design
process, consistent with Systems Engineering guidelines
and named Iterative andParticipative Axiomatic Design
Process (IPADeP), is used in this paper to propose new
innovative solutionsfor divertor locking system, which
can overcome the difficulties in applying the ITER
principles to DEMO.The solutions conceived have been
analysed from the structural point of view using the
software Ansysand, eventually, evaluated using the
methodology known as Fuzzy-Analytic Hierarchy Process.
Due tothe lack and the uncertainty of the requirements in
this early conceptual design stage, the aim is to covera
first iteration of an iterative and incremental process
to propose an innovative design concept to bedeveloped in
more details as the information will be completed.
