Europe’s Final ITER Vacuum Vessel Sector Delivered

Fusion for Energy (F4E), in collaboration with Ansaldo Nucleare, Westinghouse Electric Company and Walter Tosto, has completed manufacturing Europe’s final vacuum vessel sector for ITER — the largest international fusion experiment. The component left the factory of Westinghouse in Monfalcone, Italy, and was safely transported by DAHER to the ITER site in Cadarache, France. The arrival of the sector marks the end of a manufacturing journey that started 16 years ago and is officially the last large ITER component delivered on-site.
