Thanks to its long-term and valuable contribution to the manufacturing of the Toroidal Field Magnets of ITER Tokamak, yesterday SIMIC had the pleasure to be invited to the TF COIL Completion Ceremony organized by the ITER in Cadarache, France.
🎯 SIMIC was awarded with a Recognition prize, which we were honored to receive.
The celebration has been attended by several international Ministers, including the Honorable Gilberto Pichetto Frattin, the Italian Minister of MASE, who had the pleasure to represent our country in such an important day.
✅ For SIMIC it has been a challenging project consisting in the Manufacturing of 35 Radial Plates and 10 TF COILS, for a total commitment of over 10 years.
✅ For this last project in particular, SIMIC carried out the Cold Test at 80k and the final insertion into the TF COIL CASES of the #10 ITER superconducting coils.
✅ After the insertion, each TF COIL, weighting more than 320 tons, was fully welded by robotized welding, final machined on a giant portal milling machine, tested according to the most stringent quality and technical requirements and delivered from SIMIC Venice Workshop to ITER site.
👉 The award is dedicated to all SIMIC staff that worked constantly through this long journey, giving the best of themselves, collaborating with passion and professionalism.
A big thank goes to all of them and also to F4E teams for the outstanding collaboration to achieve one same and common objective: to deliver top quality components for ITER project and bring our contribution to achieve sustainable fusion energy.
