An overview of nuclear engineering design conducted during ITER conceptual design activities (CDA) is briefly reported. It includes design developments for two in-vessel components-blanket and shield, as well as the tritium fuel cycle. A consistent design of these components has been produced through CDA, and it will be continued by more extensive Engineering Design Activities in the following five years.
