H3AT TMC Raman Spectrometer Spares

Tender description

A custom Raman spectrometer was previously procured via a competitive tender. The system is not tritium compatible and so this work concerns principally the design and testing work to make the system tritium compatible. The spectrometer is planned to be used in a tritium system and so this work must be conducted. Lot 1: A custom Raman spectrometer was previously procured via a competitive tender. The system is not tritium compatible and so this work concerns principally the design and testing work to make the system tritium compatible. The spectrometer is planned to be used in a tritium system and so this work must be conducted. Also within scope is optimisation of the spectrometer performance. During the initial instrument build a number of potential improvements were identified which would significantly enhance the capabilities of the system. This largely concerns measures to improve the system stability which is critical for deployment in a fusion power plant. The experimental aims of this project are to prove out valid measurement techniques for fusion applications, without this optimisation the spectrometer stability is unlikely to be suitable. The scope of work also includes a set of replacement components which are critical spares for the system.
