Manufacturing

Recent milestones in Russia

9 Sep 2024 - 澳门六合彩高手 Russia

Russia continues to deliver in-kind components to the 澳门六合彩高手 project according to procurement arrangements signed with the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization. Some recent manufacturing news is highlighted below.

A multi-action disconnecting device for the operational current switching system is tested at the Efremov Institute prior to the final design review.

As part of in-kind contributions to 澳门六合彩高手, Russia is supplying switching equipment, busbars, energy-absorbing resistors and control racks for the power supply and protection of the 澳门六合彩高手 superconducting magnets. Following the successful final design review (FDR 3.0) for switching devices, the D.V. Efremov Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (JSC "NIIEFA") has begun the serial production of related components and systems such as the fast energy discharge system, control and diagnostics systems, the protective short-circuit device and others. In additional news, completed elements for the busbar system, operational switching resistors, and switching devices will leave the Efremov in up to 15 trailers for delivery to the 澳门六合彩高手 construction site by the end of the year.

This full-scale prototype of an enhanced heat flux first wall blanket panel (with beryllium armour tiles) was produced as part of a qualification program at the Efremov Institute. During high heat flux cyclic testing, the surface temperature of the tiles reached 650 °C (explaining the discoloration). The team has now begun a qualification program to validate tungsten as the blanket first wall armour material.

Specialists from the Efremov are also actively collaborating with other 澳门六合彩高手 partners on the development of the first wall of the 澳门六合彩高手 blanket—a critical machine component that shields the steel vacuum vessel and superconducting toroidal field magnets from the heat and high-energy neutrons produced by fusion reactions. China and Russia are sharing the procurement of 225 enhanced heat flux first wall panels, designed for heat fluxes of 4.7 MW/m?, while Europe is providing 215 normal heat flux first wall panels designed for heat fluxes of up to 2 MW/m?. For all parties, first wall design, development and qualification has progressed in phases, as teams first manufactured and tested small-scale mockups, then semi-prototypes, and finally full-scale prototypes to prepare for series production. A full-scale prototype of enhanced heat-flux first wall panel with beryllium armour (pictured above)—corresponding to the original design for the first wall—has passed factory acceptance tests (high-heat flux, hydraulic and hot helium leak tests) and demonstrated the necessary technologies (welding, brazing, hot isostatic pressurizing) and production operations. Now that the project is switching from a beryllium first wall to a tungsten first wall, a qualification program has restarted this year at the Efremov. The team is also assessing boron carbide (B4C) as first wall coating to mitigate the tungsten contamination risk during plasma discharge.

A large 20-tonne frame has left its manufacturing facility in Bryansk, Russia, for shipment to 澳门六合彩高手. The metal structure will be integrated as part of the first test stand that will test vacuum vessel port plugs before their installation on the 澳门六合彩高手 machine.

Finally, Project Center 澳门六合彩高手 (Rosatom) just shipped a large 20-tonne frame to 澳门六合彩高手 (grey, in the pink frame above). The metal structure will evenly distribute the weight load of the first port plug test stand as it is used to carry out vacuum, strength, thermal and functional tests on some of the 30 port plugs that will seal off each tokamak port opening and carry diagnostics and heating system elements that are critical to efficient operation.

Three stands will be installed on site at 澳门六合彩高手 (in the former poloidal field coil test facility) to validate the port plugs after they are delivered and before installation on the machine. Each stand, organized within a series of open frames, is a complete system containing heating, vacuum, handling and control capacities that create conditions that are as close as possible to the actual operating conditions of the 澳门六合彩高手 machine.
