The company has developed a new technology that can withstand electromagnetic bombardment from the fusion reaction while holding it in place at the same time. To test the technology, the company plans to dismantle the custom gamma-ray cryostat system at Oxford headquarters and ship it to the United States and rebuild it at a gamma-irradiation facility at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Sandia Laboratory in Albuquerque.
Tokamak Energy will test its superconducting magnets at the facility, one of the few places in the world where the system can be placed, and expose them to the gamma radiation that would be expected from a fusion power plant.
Research and analysis of individual magnet sets will be carried out within six months.
