US ITER has completed delivery of all components for the support structure of the central solenoid, the 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet that is the heart of the ITER fusion machine. Comprised of more than 9,000 individual parts, the support structure was manufactured by eight U.S. suppliers across six states.
With the final delivery crossing the Atlantic in January, this milestone was the culmination of more than a decade of work by US ITER staff and U.S. suppliers. Contributors included Kamatics in Connecticut; Major Tool & Machine in Indiana; Keller Technology in New York; Hamill Manufacturing, Precision Custom Components, and Superbolt in Pennsylvania; Petersen in Utah; and Robatel Technologies in Virginia.
