A fusion test facility such as TASKA can be operated successfully if the down-time can be kept at a level consistent with the assumed availability. The ease of maintenance is, therefore, an important consideration which impacts the conceptual design. This paper describes several maintenance concepts based on the TASKA design, selected on the basis of the frequency or complexity of the required maintenance.
