The international fusion materials irradiation facility-DEMO-oriented neutron source (IFMIF-DONES) is a facility that is designed under the framework of the EU fusion roadmap. It is going to be an essential irradiation facility for testing and qualifying candidate materials under severe irradiation conditions of a neutron field having an energy spectrum like the one present in a fusion power reactor. The material specimens are irradiated in a containment structure named the test cell (TC), which is part of the test systems (TS). The TC also houses a part of the other major system (lithium system, LS), which provides the liquid lithium for the reaction through a piping system. At a point, the lithium piping needs to exit the TS, but the primary safety boundary must be continuous around these penetrations. Therefore, a special barrier, called the test systems--lithium systems interface cell (TLIC), has been developed around the piping system to provide a safety-approved and remotely maintainable vacuum boundary envelope. In this paper, the integrated design development of the TLIC is described, consisting of the design development according to the RCC-MRx code, the remote-handling (RH) needs, and the procedures and safety-related special needs of the design.
