“Pioneering Superconductors: Tratos Elevates Fusion Energy to New Heights”
As the world races towards sustainable and clean energy solutions, one company has emerged as a crucial player in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Tratos, an innovative cable manufacturer, has been at the forefront of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor’s (ITER) Fusion4Energy project for over a decade, and their contributions deserve special recognition.
Tratos’s involvement in the fusion energy arena began with the inception of the ITER Fusion for Energy cable project, marking their commitment to the advancement of nuclear fusion. Their dedication and expertise have resulted in the creation of some of the largest and most challenging superconducting electromagnets ever produced in human history.
At the heart of Tratos’s contribution lies the production of Cable-In-Conduit (CIC) superconducting wire. This wire has been crucial not only for the construction of magnets for the ITER reactor but also for the Japanese JT-60SA fusion reactor. The significance of this feat cannot be overstated, as these superconducting wires play a pivotal role in the success of these cutting-edge nuclear fusion projects.
F4E (Fusion4Energy), the organization overseeing fusion energy projects, recognized Tratos’s exceptional capabilities by awarding them the…
