7. Modification

7.1 Modification

Identifier of the previous contract award notice : 266992-2022
Identifier of the modified contract : CON-0001
Reason for modification : Need for modifications because of circumstances which a diligent buyer could not predict.
Description : To enhance system reliability and to extend the system’s operational lifetime additional tests related to the bearing of the rotating blade and the associated eigenmodes of the centrifuge system became necessary during contract implementation.

7.1.1 Change

Description of modifications : In particular a characterization of the system, a seismic test and a set of endurance tests are added to the original scope: 1. Characterization of the centrifuge with focus on resonant frequencies potentially damaging the components and limiting the specified operational range. The aim is a root cause analysis of the issues encountered during pre-tests and related to resonance. 2. Implementation of a temperature sensor which is permanently monitoring the temperature of the vacuum bearing in order to protect it from overheating. 3. Seismic tests of the centrifuge representing relevant seismic event during operation. 4. Endurance tests of the centrifuge ensuring that the system can reliably be operated fulfilling all necessary parameters over the expected time frame in the JT-60SA tokamak. The cost impact of this deviation amounts to EUR 320,000, which is 29% of the initial contract value.
