Project background

Preliminary fabrication, welding procedure and feasibility mock-ups for the Test Blanket Modules (TBM) for ITER:

• protection of the vacuum vessel and the superconductivity magnets ;
• removable blanket module positioned directly facing the plasma ;
• temperatures in excess of 150-million-degrees celcius ;
• beryllium chosen for its physical properties ;
• neutron flux from the fusion reaction ;
• heat removal system with cooling water system.
