At the PRIMA neutral beam test facility in Padua, Italy, the components of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ's most powerful heating system—neutral beam injection—will be tested in advance of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ operation.

Europe, Japan and India are contributing all components according to the specifications of Procurement Arrangements signed with the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization; Italy has built the facility as a voluntary contribution to the neutral beam development program.

Since late 2014, components have been arriving on site for installation at the SPIDER test bed, a 1:1-scale ion source that will be used to develop the technology for the production of negative ions. Deliveries have included a beam dump supplied by India, a high-voltage deck supplied by Europe, and power supply components from Japan.

On 1 March, a flag-off ceremony was held at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ India premises in Gandhinagar, as the latest shipment of in-kind components procured by India left for PRIMA. Nine trucks containing components for SPIDER's 100 kV power supply—transformers, switching modules, controllers, high-voltage racks, cables disconnector switches—are now en route to the port of Mundra, on India's west coast, for shipment to Italy.
