Welders for ITER Tokamak Face Daunting Component Assembly Challenges 

Making a custom magnetic assembly often calls for an orchestration of intricate design engineering and skillful fabrication. Perhaps that is truer nowhere than at ITER in France where engineers and technicians are wrestling with the demands of building a massive magnetic tokomak for the purpose of generating fusion energy. They are developing welding procedures for crafting first-of-a-kind components and devising strategies for welding in the confined spaces of a revolutionary creation, helping to define the techniques and standards that may shape fusion projects for decades to come.  […]
