Description
Description | The ITER project aims to build the world's largest nuclear fusion reactor to replicate the power of the sun on Earth. The current critical phase involves the construction of the tokamak's double-walled vacuum vessel, a massive steel ring that will contain plasma hotter than any flame ever created by humans. Westinghouse Electric was contracted to weld and assemble the vacuum vessel sectors with high precision to ensure the integrity of the reactor. |
