IDOM as reference engineering group for ITER project
France
ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) aims to show that nuclear fusion can be a viable future energy source. The project is thought to be one of the biggest technological and technical challenges ever faced. IDOM is regarded as a reference engineering firm for ITER project having participated in almost 20 projects covering manifold areas of expertise such as mechanical, seismic, civil, nuclear, structural, fluid dynamics and thermohydraulics. The design of the European TBMs, detailed design of cryopumps, support to neutronics and integration design of Diagnostic Ports appear to be some of the most significant projects.
