Domestic SMEs develop the Erosion Deposition Monitor
for the ITER reactor

Heading for ITER
As a first Hungarian enterprise, we have successfully manufactured and shipped to ITER a few steel structures that will soon become parts of the fusion reactor. To be continued…:-)

Tests of the optical head of ITER’s Hard-Xray Monitor have started
GEMS Engineering continues the desing and development of the optical head of ITER’s Hard-Xray Monitor diagnostics: next stage is the prototype manufacturing and testing. With the help of SEMILAB, we finished the manufacturing of the most critical part, and the tests had started.

We have succesfully completed the first stage of the ITER call
IO/19/CFT/7-546/LLJ-Erosion Deposition Monitor: PDR, FDR and Manufacturing.
The ITER International Organization had launched a two-staged call for the design and manufacturing of the erosion deposition monitor diagnostic system. In the first stage, bidders were competing with their technical capacity and competencies. A consortium led by GEMS Engineering Ltd. successfully completed the first stage and qualified for the second stage, to where only those that passed the first stage will get invitation. Other consortium members are C3D Engineering Consultant Ltd, Optimal Optik Ltd and AEMI Atomic Energy Engineering Ltd. – presently, along with GEMS Engineering, the largest Hungarian ITER suppliers in the SME sector.

What it takes to wire up a fusion reactor
While the challenges of keeping cables operational in harsh environments such as jet engines and nuclear fission reactors have been understood for a long time, protecting cables inside fusion reactors is a different story. Fusion presents a new set of challenges — challenges that can only be overcome with a new round of innovation.
