2026-07-22 - HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Vice President Kwangshik Won receives a commemorative plaque during the ���ߺ��� Korean Fusion Day for his company's successful fabrication and delivery of four vacuum vessel sectors. The last Korean-built sector will be transferred from tooling to the tokamak pit next week.

2026-07-17 - ���ߺ��� China and its contractor SWIP (Southwestern Institute of Physics) report that tungsten first-wall “finger” components for ���ߺ���’s enhanced heat flux blanket panels have successfully passed thermal cycling fatigue tests. The panels are designed to withstand peak heat loads of 4.7 MW/m².

2026-07-06 - Darren Locke (F4E), Massimo Battaglia (���ߺ���), and Gonzalo Hinojosa Martinez (���ߺ���) are seen with the equatorial port plug assembly tool, the first part of the cask and plug remote handling system to arrive at ���ߺ���. Along with its heavy duty omni-move transfer trolley, it will bring diagnostic and heating port plugs to the front of the vacuum vessel ports and then slide the plugs into the openings.

2026-06-27 - The MITICA beam source, assembled and tested by ALSYMEX in Tarbes (France), has been delivered to the ���ߺ��� Neutral Beam Test Facility in Padua, Italy. Representatives of the European Domestic Agency F4E, Consorzio RFX, Alsymex, and partners stand next to the beam source after onsite helium leak tests. ©RFX

2026-06-15 - At the divertor integration facility in Qinshan, China, the elements of the ���ߺ��� divertor will come together to form the "divertor cassette assemblies" that will be installed at ���ߺ���.

2026-06-04 - Fusion for Energy contractor Research Instruments has begun assembling tungsten-armoured plasma-facing units onto the steel structures of divertor inner vertical targets. ©RI

2026-05-28 - On the top floor of the Radiofrequency Building, in the gyrotron hall, the first three gyrotrons procured by Russia have been installed. Gyrotrons are the wave-producing devices of the electron cyclotron heating system.

2026-05-27 - Four completed divertor cassettes (one is uncovered in this photo and three are packed) are ready for shipment. Late May, representatives from Fusion for Energy, SIMIC and the ���ߺ��� gather at the SIMIC workshop to mark the achievement in the presence of Italian authorities. ©SIMIC

2026-05-22 - Two side correction coils arrived in April and another two in May, completing all deliveries. Eighteen correction coils will play a critical role in ensuring the stability and precision of the fusion machine’s magnetic environment.

2026-05-06 - Shortly after a side correction coil arrives from China, teams on site conduct inspections to ensure that no damage has occurred during transport.

2026-05-05 - The European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy and its contractor ALSYMEX have completed the assembly and factory tests of the MITICA beam source, composed of a radio frequency ion source and a seven-grid extractor and accelerator. This is the central component of the MITICA testbed at the ���ߺ��� Neutral Beam Facility in Padua, Italy—a full-scale prototype of ���ߺ���'s heating neutral beam injector.

2026-04-27 - US ���ߺ��� has completed final deliveries for the central solenoid, the world’s most powerful pulsed superconducting magnet. Assembly is underway at the ���ߺ��� site.

2026-04-27 - A specific set of robotic tools is being developed in Japan to support the initial assembly of ���ߺ��� blanket components. Designed to operate within tight space constraints, these tools can grip, fasten, tighten, weld, and cut with exceptional precision.

2026-04-15 - Vacuum vessel sector #3 has been completed in Europe by the AMW consortium (Ansaldo Nucleare, Westinghouse, Walter Tosto) and will soon set sail from the port of Ortona, in Italy. Once delivered to ���ߺ���, it will be the fourth European sector on site and the eighth overall.

2026-03-18 - The European Domestic Agency Fusion For Energy and the SIMIC S.p.A./CNIM consortium have completed the manufacturing, inspection and test of the first divertor cassette body. Fifty-four of these 5-tonne components form the backbone of the ���ߺ��� divertor, located at the bottom of the reactor and designed to manage extreme heat and particle exhaust during plasma operations.

2026-03-12 - 20 European companies have been involved with the manufacturing work to produce the beam source for MITICA, a testbed that will trial the full-scale (1 MV) heating neutral beam injector at the ���ߺ��� Neutral Beam Test Facility in Italy. The beam source has been fully assembled and is in testing at Alsymex.

2026-02-16 - Nine gravity supports like this one, supplied by Korea, will support the vacuum vessel sectors from below. Their dual-hinged design allows for a slight expansion of the vacuum vessel in the radial direction.

2026-02-02 - Vacuum vessel sector #9, shown here at the Westinghouse Mangiarotti factory in Monfalcone, Italy, is ready for transport to ���ߺ���. Sector #9 will be the third sector delivered by the European Domestic Agency. ©Westinghouse

2026-01-28 - This semi-automated platform fabricated in Europe is designed to carry ���ߺ��� port plugs from the Assembly Hall to their positions in the upper and equatorial ports surrounding the vacuum vessel during first-phase assembly. Recent tests confirmed it can negotiate ���ߺ���-like gallery corridors while carrying an 80-tonne dummy load on its back. ©Solving

2026-01-16 - A gyrotron is essentially an energy-delivery device. Once generated in the magnetic tube, high-frequency waves travel the length of a wave guide into an antenna that directs the beam into the plasma. The effect of the high-frequency wave on the electrons in the plasma is to accelerate their motion—another way of saying that electrons are "heated" by the high frequency beam. Two gyrotrons delivered by the Japanese Domestic Agency have already been installed at ���ߺ���.

2026-01-09 - Suppliers Alsymex and Fusion Business Leadership (Leading/Empresarios Agrupados) have been entrusted by the European Domestic Agency with the production of 27 first-wall panels each. After years of development, series production lines are up and running and teams are focusing on shaping the structure of the panels, made of a stainless steel-copper alloy. ©FBL-F4E
