Robots for maintenance of fusion reactor ITER

Began the manufacturing of key components

 

Fusion reactor ITER

   Fusion reactor ITER, currently under construction on the site of the research center of Cadarache in the South of France, is the largest in the world project for the implementation of controlled nuclear fusion, which is currently considered as a promising source of clean energy. Naturally, the ITER reactor will be incredibly difficult to install, requiring constant maintenance and repair to keep it in working condition. And, due to the fact that the conditions, such as temperature, radiation level and other, in some areas of the reactor is many times higher than acceptable for the human limits, work in these areas can be accomplished only with the help of specialized robots. Recently, the European organisation for nuclear fusion energy (Fusion For Energy, F4E), which oversees the construction of ITER, has signed a contract worth € 70 million with the British firm Amec Foster Wheeler. In the framework of this contract must be an automated system capable of independently or with the help of remote control to perform all types of maintenance, repair and replacement of parts of the so-called injector neutral beam Neutral Beam injectors). 

View Chevrolet company for the future

Futuristic capsule of FNR

 

Shanghai  Chevrolet  fnr-4

This year many automobile companies presented to public attention the concepts in which their point of view on the future of electric cars robots is reflected. At the beginning of a year the Mercedes company presented the first the intriguing concept F 015, and Italdesign Giugiaro became one of the brightest concepts presented later on the Geneva motor show. A little the known company Chevrolet lagged behind in this case, but now they corrected this situation, having presented the point of view on future cars. Them "the futuristic capsule" of FNR is concentration of forms, technologies and innovative ideas of the next generation. Within a concept of FNR all obligatory elements of design of the independent car of the future, the huge digital dashboard, a hi-tech windshield, huge salon with the rotating seats and many other things are collected.
