Application:
ITER will be the first fusion facility. The tokamak is an experimental machine designed to harness the energy of fusion. ITER will be the world‘s largest tokamak. One-meter thick radial walls will connect the massive ITER bioshield to the concrete tokamak crown, which will support the combined mass of the cryostat, the vacuum vessel, the magnet system and the thermal shield. The spokes are reinforced with numbers of SAS 500 bars.
