Neutron production during D-D operation and, to a much larger extent, during D-T operation will lead to activation of component materials located inside the ITER biological shield. Hence, inspection and maintenance, including replacement, of these components will then only be possible by remote means. ITER components in the biological shield are therefore designed for remote maintainability and repairability. This paper presents an overview of the typical remote handling scenarios and equipment required for ITER maintenance such as in-vessel viewing/inspection, divertor, shield blanket and magnet system maintenance.
