Title attributed to the contract: Cost Modelling STEP
Description:
The UKAEA cost management team currently consists of 4 cost engineers. The function is responsible for costing the STEP prototype and commercial fusion reactors. Costing to date has been at top-down level and the aim is to transition to detailed bottom-up costing on sub-systems where the design reaches sufficient level of maturity. Therefore, in the next 2 years, the fusion reactor costing will consist of both top-down and bottom-up costing. Also, on suitable sub-systems and components, value engineering activities are planned. A bespoke in-house solution is being used for the top-down model and a commercial external solution is being sought for the next steps of cost modelling that need to scale from the existing top-down to a full bottom-up cost model of the STEP prototype reactor as well as extrapolate to commercial fusion reactors. The contract will be in place for 3 +1+ 1 Years - Total of 5 years
