About this file

This Statement of Work (SOW) details the procurement of two water-cooled gate valves for the Material Plasma Exposure Experiment (MPEX) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The gate valves are critical components for a superconducting magnet device designed to conduct accelerated lifetime tests of plasma-facing components, with primary functions including providing a leak-tight vacuum chamber barrier, removing heat when the plasma is present, and supplying cooling water inlet and outlet ports.

The SOW specifies comprehensive delivery requirements, including a Quality Plan within 2 weeks of subcontract award, a Design Package within 24 weeks, cleaning procedures, test procedures, and multiple technical deliverables such as as-built 3D CAD models, thermomechanical design analysis, maintenance procedures, calibration records, and various certification documents. The seller must have a quality assurance program compliant with ISO 9001 or NQA-1, provide detailed welding and brazing procedures, and ensure all components meet specified codes, standards, and technical requirements. Delivery is specified as Delivered at Place (DAP) to the ORNL facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, with the seller responsible for packaging and shipping to ensure the equipment arrives undamaged.

1 INTRODUCTION

The Material-Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a superconducting magnet, steady-state device, is being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), herein referred to as “the

Company”, to address the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor. This device, as designed, will have the unique feature of being able to conduct accelerated lifetime tests of plasma-facing components, including those that have experienced neutron damage.

The primary role of the water-cooled gate valve is to provide a leak tight vacuum chamber barrier when plasma is not present and the mating vacuum chambers are separated, remove heat that is gate valve when the plasma is present and the gate valve is open, and provide inlet and outlet ports for cooling water.

2 SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) applies to the detail design, fabrication, assembly, testing and delivery of two (2) water-cooled gate valves and associated components as defined in MPEX-04-

SPC-504, Product Specification for a Water Cooled Gate Valve. [1]

5 QUALITY ASSURANCE

5.1 QUALITY PROGRAM

The Seller shall have a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) that, at a minimum, is ISO 9001 certified, but preferably compliant with NQA-1 2008/2009a or equivalent. The Seller shall be able to demonstrate that it can fulfill the quality assurance requirements in this statement of work. At a minimum, the prospective supplier shall have an established, documented, and effectively implemented quality assurance program describing controls for: work processes (controlled by instructions/procedures), personnel training and qualification, document and records control, design, procurement, inspection, and testing; including the use of measuring and test equipment when used, corrective action, and assessments (audits).

Prior to subcontract award, the seller’s QAP shall be evaluated to determine the degree of effective implementation of the quality program. Deficiencies, if any, identified during the evaluation shall be addressed and corrected to the satisfaction of the Company and shall occur prior to award.

All suppliers/sub-suppliers, subcontractors, and fabricators (as applicable) shall have a Quality

Assurance Program that meets or exceeds the requirements described above.
