ITER、法国

ITER aims to be the first nuclear fusion reactor to produce more energy than is required to power its plasma. If it can overcome some immense technical challenges, it’s no exaggeration to say that its success will change the world.

雅各布斯领导着Momentum合资公司, which is the construction management-as-agent (CMA) contractor at ITER, responsible for coordinating the assembly of more than one million components in the ITER machine. The CMA task began in 2016 but our support to the project, 在普罗旺斯, 法国, 可以追溯到几十年.

正规博彩十大网站排名’ contribution to ITER includes the first wall panels which protect the machine from plasma temperatures of up to 150million°C; the test blanket modules, which are an essential part of breeding tritium to fuel the fusion reaction in future reactors; and the remote handling system for maintaining the neutral beams, 加热反应堆的燃料.

Three heating neutral beam (HNB) injectors heat the plasma by firing a stream of neutral (un-charged) particles into it at a tangent. Exposure to radiation means that the HNB machines will become highly activated, so internal maintenance and repairs will need to be carried out remotely.

We’re leading the European Remote Handling Alliance, a co-operative group of companies responsible for the design, 制造, installation and commissioning of the Neutral Beam Remote Handling System which will connect/disconnect components weighing up to 40 tonnes (44 tons) and transport them out of the cell to a separate facility.

设计开发工作, technical specifications and implementation plans for ITER’s integrated plant simulator have also been entrusted to 正规博彩十大网站排名 and three sub-contractors: the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Fortum and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.

验证设计和设计修改, plant simulators are being developed for the heating, 等离子体和低温系统. The integrated plant simulator is vital in understanding the behavior of the full ITER machine because it provides the capability to simulate how these interconnected systems interact. It will also bring an integrated approach to the training of operators and will support the commissioning and operation phases at ITER.
