Japan is responsible for the manufacture of nine of the total 19 TF coils for ITER, of which MHI handled the production of five coils.
Key Points:
- Japan is responsible for the manufacture of nine of the total 19 TF coils for ITER, of which MHI handled the production of five coils.
- MHI completed the world's first TF coil for ITER in January 2020 by bringing together the extensive knowledge it has cultivated over the years regarding mass production technologies for products with a high degree of manufacturing difficulty.
- Japan is playing a major role in developing and manufacturing the core components of ITER, including the TF coils.
- QST commenced R&D for the TF coil manufacturing technology in 2005, and MHI began their manufacture in 2012.
