Iter Divertor Remote Handling System

Catalogs:


Overview

The divertor - a key component of the Iter machine - is located at the bottom of the vacuum vessel and extracts impurities from the superhot plasma. It consists of 54 removable cassettes, each measuring 3.4m long, 1.2m wide and 0.6m thick and weighing 10 tonnes. The remote handling equipment will be used to manipulate and transport these cassettes, which are expected to be replaced three times during the Iter machine's lifetime.
