Summary:The ITER project is under construction in Cadarache, France, to assemble and operate an experimental nuclear fusion facility. The aim of this paper is the description of the implementation of the French Order of February 7, 2012, concerning Basic Nuclear Installation (also called “INB” Order) [1] within the European Union Domestic Agency (EU-DA), specifically on the Electron Cyclotron Upper Launcher (EC UL). The EC UL will be used for the control and heating of the ITER plasma. The launcher includes the port plug and related in-vessel items (nuclear shielding, blanket module, and optics) and the ex-vessel first confinement items (diamond window, isolation valve, waveguides, miterbends, tapers and port plug back end).
