| Body | Please take some minutes to check the capacities offered by the following companies as potential sub-contractors for the Tender “F4E-OMF-1183 - Port Structures Manufacture, Diagnostic Integration, Assembly and Testing”.Note: Please also check the attached papers. Borron Carbide: CoorsTek Sweden – is offering to supply sintered components in B4C material. They have been supplying sintered B4C material, as neutron absorbers, to the nuclear industry for more than 25 years. This using HIP technology, enabling a pure B4C material with no sintering additives, still achieving close to theoretical density. Their own developed technology enables the application of the HIP sintering conditions to complex shapes, achieving a near to net geometry. CoorsTek is also offering sintered components in other ceramic materials. 
Bhukhanvala Industries Private Ltd - is offering its expertise in supplying B4C Pellets. They are a leading manufacturer of Boron Carbide Pellets and other components for Neutron Shielding and their products already meet ITER standards for Outgassing and other property requirements. 
Glass to Metal: SOLCERA Advanced Materials - is offering its expertise in delivering reliable ceramic components for nuclear safety. They have 200 years of experience in advanced ceramics and 50 years in ceramic brazing and glass-to-metal sealing. The company supplies key components for nuclear safety: shielding materials, neutron moderators absorbers, control rods, thermocouples, monitoring systems, hermetic feedthroughs, windows, viewports, nuclear waste storage, flash lamps, connectors, R&D. 
Integration of Optical Diagnostics: Bertin Technologies - is offering its collaboration on Task Order 5 of OMF1183 for the integration of F4E's optical diagnostics on-site. Located near ITER, Bertin Technologies provides advanced optical diagnostic and measurement systems that are essential for understanding, monitoring, and controlling plasma behavior, supporting major international fusion programs. Their scope is from design to on-site commissioning. They are involved in the design and manufacturing of numerous optical diagnostics supplied by F4E. 
Testing Activities: Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade - is offering its support for SC03: PPTF testing campaigns for Diagnostic Port Plugs (EP01, EP10, UP01, UP03, UP10, UP17) and EC Upper Launcher Plugs (UL12, UL13, UL15, UL16). ISQ can deliver test engineering and execution support across WP1-WP3: test planning and procedures, TRR documentation package, instrumentation and DAQ set-up, vacuum and leak testing, metrology and dimensional checks, thermo-mechanical test support, operation support during test runs, data handling, NCR follow-up, weekly progress reporting, and final test reporting.
