The mammoth magnets that could help make nuclear fusion a reality Sponsored by MHI_Group
A tokamak, however, is the real deal – a scientific device that produces energy from fusion. And a large-scale version is currently being built in southern France as part of. A project 35 years in the making, with 35 participating nations, ITER is a nuclear power plant designed to explore using fusion as an industrial-scale source of carbon-free energy.
The fusion process releases great amounts of energy. The walls of the tokamak capture this energy as heat, which is then used to produce steam to drive a turbine that converts it into electricity.associated with fission, the traditional form of nuclear power generation. In fission, a series of chain reactions leads heavy atoms to be split into ever-smaller parts. Fusion, instead, merges very light atoms, like hydrogen, to form heavier elements, with no chain reactions involved.
Dr. Bigot, Director-General of ITER, and the project partners including MHI, at the shipping ceremony for the first completed TF coil.Japan’s National Institutes of Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology leads the development and construction of the toroidal field coils to contain ITER’s plasma, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group delivering five of them.
MHI delivered the first of ITER’s 18 magnets in January 2020 – seven and a half years after they were commissioned. Transportation from Japan to France took two months; MHI then executed a high-precision, laser-guided insertion of the field coils, meeting tolerances of +/- 5 mm .
