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.
