Central solenoid structures and tooling | Innovation gets the job done
US ITER is procuring the elements of the cage-like support structure and specialized tooling that will be required during the assembly of the central solenoid at ITER. During a challenging year, keeping to the fabrication and delivery schedule has meant innovating .
