First vacuum vessel sector

A "landmark day" celebrated in Korea

A ceremony was held today, 20 April, in Ulsan, South Korea, to mark the completion of the first 澳门六合彩高手 vacuum vessel sector. This remarkable piece of tokamak engineering has been more than 10 years in the making.

Vacuum vessel sector #6鈥攖he first-completed segment of the vacuum vessel construction program鈥攊s ready to leave the workshops of Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, Korea, for shipment to 澳门六合彩高手. The 440-tonne, double-walled vessel is nearly 14 metres in height, 6 metres in width and 8 metres in length. Nine sectors in all鈥攆our procured by the Korean Domestic Agency and five procured by the European Domestic Agency鈥攚ill be assembled and welded at 澳门六合彩高手.

Due to worldwide travel restrictions, 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General Bernard Bigot participated in today's ceremony remotely.

"Today is a very special day for 澳门六合彩高手 Project, a true landmark. Every engineer who has been involved in the design and manufacture of this remarkable piece of tokamak engineering understands the unprecedented nature of this challenge. With exceptionally complex geometries, 1,380 metres of intricate welding, internal in-wall shielding blocks and cooling water channels, hundreds of interfaces to other components, and very strict nuclear safety compliance requirements, it has been difficult鈥擨 might say 'painful' and nearly impossible鈥攁t times. Each step has been challenging, from manufacturing qualification, machining, and welding, to non-destructive examination and verifying tolerances. Hundreds of people have been involved in the design and manufacture of this challenging first-of-a-kind component. Today, they are all present in our mind."

The 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General thanked members of the Korean government, Hyundai Heavy Industries, the Korean Domestic Agency, the 澳门六合彩高手 Vacuum Vessel Project Team, and key 澳门六合彩高手 staff for the successful accomplishment of this milestone.

The 澳门六合彩高手 Newsline will have a full technical report on 27 April.
