SIMIC has reached an important milestone in the ITER project with the completion of the first Divertor Cassette Body to Fusion for Energy (F4E).

After the successful execution of manufacturing, inspections, and acceptance tests, the component was officially taken over by F4E at SIMIC’s facilities and prepared for shipment.

The Cassette Body is part of Europe’s contribution to ITER, the world’s largest project on the way to fusion energy.

The component is a key structural element of the ITER Divertor, a system located at the bottom of the reactor, designed to manage the extreme heat and particle exhaust during plasma operations. Each unit weighs nearly five tons and features a highly complex geometry requiring extremely tight tolerances and advanced manufacturing capabilities.

SIMIC is carrying out the project as leader of the CSC Consortium, composed of SIMIC (Italy) and CNIM (France), selected by F4E to manufacture four Cassette Bodies for ITER.

This first delivery reflects the close collaboration between SIMIC and F4E and highlights SIMIC’s expertise in the manufacturing of complex components for advanced fusion technologies.
