Magnetic fusion : Robotics

The specific geometry of a fusion reactor, as well as the great number of circuits, require the development of tools dedicated to maintenance. The EURATOM-CEA Association is more specifically involved in the development of tools associated with maintenance of the ITER divertor and the ITER vacuum vessel.

Remote handling operations on the ITER divertor.
