Abstract :
Demanding reliability and availability (R&A) goals have been established for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The possibility of achieving such goals depends on implementing a dedicated R&A assurance program from the outset of the design efforts. A guide for ITER reliability analyses has been prepared and preliminary results have been obtained. The elements of the guide are briefly described, and some preliminary observations from early analyses are presented
