In this conceptual scoping study, a supporting facility was arranged around a baseline 3.8 m ignition test reactor (ITR) designed by the General Atomic Company (GAC). During the study, the Ralph M. Parsons Company conceptually designed and estimated the constructed costs of the balance-of-plant (BOP) supporting buildings and systems necessary for the ITR operation. In addition to facility design and cost estimate, this scoping study also includes the program planning and quality assurance for the TNS program. In terms of BOP functional design assurance, schedule implication, and preliminary cost tradeoff, Parsons has examined the potential impacts evolving from developmental changes to the tokamak parameters and from various ITR upgrade scenarios. Recommendations have been made in this study suggesting areas of consideration which may lead to further cost savings in the TNS program.
