A house on wheels? No, it's the eighth of nine vacuum vessel sectors, this one manufactured by Europe, en route to ITER. It will arrive very early on Thursday, 7 May. The vacuum vessel is the double wall steel container that will house the fusion reaction. It provides a high-vacuum environment for the plasma and acts as the primary confinement barrier for radiation. When complete it will weigh more than 5,000 tons. #fusionenergy #ITER #vacuumvessel Fusion for Energy DAHER Ansaldo Nucleare Walter Tosto S.p.A. Westinghouse Mangiarotti
