In the tokamak design of a fusion reactor (as used in ITER), the vacuum vessel provides a hard-vacuum environment for the plasma (which improves radiation shielding and plasma stability) acts as the primary confinement barrier. For a consortium of 3 companies (AMW Consortium), pro-beam was subcontracted, in charge of the … Continue reading Welding ITER’s vacuum vessel components help signing contracts with ArianeGroup and Solar Orbiter
