Materials strategy and resources. In the SEAFP studies, the principal strategic materials issues were related to the choices of blanket. The two reference designs, XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H, specified a low- activation martensitic steel (with nominal composition 0.1C-9Cr-2W-0.2V-0.07Ta) as the structural material of their blankets. As well as having expected desirable physical properties in fusion conditions, the activation of these steels by fusion neutrons is much lower than that of conventional steels. These steels have been developed and extensively tested in recent years, though not, of course, in fusion-specific conditions. The blanket concepts of XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H are based on the blankets that have been successfully developed within the European fusion programme. In addition to XXXXXXX-W and XXXXXXX-H, other conceptual designs, distinguished by blankets based on advanced materials, were studied at a lower level of detail in order to assess their potential merits. The structural material employed for one of these blankets was a vanadium alloy with composition V-4Cr-4Ti. The remaining blanket concepts made use of silicon carbide composite, either as structural material or as thermal insulation. Vanadium alloys and silicon carbide composites are presently available, but would need additional development and characterisation to become suited for fusion power plants. The assumed compositions of the blanket structural materials varied at different stages during the SEAFP series of studies, reflecting the substantial progress being made, both within and outside the world fusion programme, on material development. Results appropriate to the most recent compositions are normally reported here. For reasons related to the physics of plasma-surface compatibility, plasma-facing surfaces of the blankets and divertors are covered with a thin layer of an “armour” material. Both beryllium and tungsten were considered and assessed as alternatives for this role. Another materials variant concerned the composition of the steel/water in-vessel shield and the vacuum vessel: stainless steel 316 and a low activation, manganese-based, alternative austenitic steel, OPTSTAB, were used as alternates. The availability at acceptable cost of an abundant supply of fuels and materials for a future extensive fusion power economy is, in principle, an important strategic consideration. For the fuel deuterium, many studies have shown that there are no conceivable resource problems. Existing known resources of lith...

  • Compliance Services (a) If Schedule I contains a requirement for the BNY to provide the Fund with compliance services, such services shall be provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 6 (the “Compliance Services”). The precise compliance review and testing services to be provided shall be as mutually agreed between the BNY and each Fund, and the results of the BNY’s Compliance Services shall be detailed in a compliance summary report (the “Compliance Summary Report”) prepared on a periodic basis as mutually agreed. Each Compliance Summary Report shall be subject to review and approval by the Fund. The BNY shall have no responsibility or obligation to provide Compliance Services other that those services specifically listed in Schedule I. (b) The Fund will examine each Compliance Summary Report delivered to it by the BNY and notify the BNY of any error, omission or discrepancy within ten (10) days of its receipt. The Fund agrees to notify the BNY promptly if it fails to receive any such Compliance Summary Report. The Fund further acknowledges that unless it notifies the BNY of any error, omission or discrepancy within 10 days, such Compliance Summary Report shall be deemed to be correct and conclusive in all respects. In addition, if the Fund learns of any out-of-compliance condition before receiving a Compliance Summary Report reflecting such condition, the Fund will notify the BNY of such condition within one business day after discovery thereof. (c) While the BNY will endeavor to identify out-of-compliance conditions, the BNY does not and could not for the fees charged, make any guarantees, representations or warranties with respect to its ability to identify all such conditions. In the event of any errors or omissions in the performance of Compliance Services, the Fund’s sole and exclusive remedy and the BNY’s sole liability shall be limited to re-performance by the BNY of the Compliance Services affected and in connection therewith the correction of any error or omission, if practicable and the preparation of a corrected report, at no cost to the Fund.
