Abstract. The remote maintenance strategy and the associated component design
of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) have reached a
high degree of completeness, especially with respect to those components that
are expected to require frequent or occasional remote maintenance. Large-scale
test stands, to demonstrate the principle feasibility of the remote
maintenance procedures and to develop the required equipment and tools, were
operational at the end of the Engineering Design Activities (EDA) phase. The
initial results are highly encouraging: major remote equipment deployment and
component replacement operations have been successfully demonstrated.
