Toroidal Field Coils for DTT
Frascati (IT)
The DTT project is promoted by a consortium involving ENEA, Eni and numerous Italian universities and research institutions. The initiative envisages a total investment of over EUR 600 million and is estimated to generate an economic and employment impact of around EUR 2 billion.
The project will also create one of the most advanced scientific-technological centres in the world, conceived as an international hub open to researchers and scientists from all over the worldDTT represents a frontier initiative, all-Italian, aimed at producing clean, safe and large-scale energy through the same physical principle that powers the Sun and the stars: nuclear fusion.
ASG Superconductors is manufacturing the "magnetic heart" of the DTT facility. At over 6 metres in height and weighing 16 tonnes each, the 18 TF COILS superconducting magnets represents the true technological ‘heart’ of the DTT project: inside, cutting-edge construction technologies and innovative materials will ensure the containment of 33 cubic metres of plasma at a temperature of over 100 million degrees.
