🎬 We are EUROfusion – a new video series is here! EUROfusion enables even smaller and medium-sized countries to take leadership in key fields of fusion research. 💡 It brings together brilliant minds, fosters collaboration, and opens the door to big science. Without EUROfusion’s support, many of these achievements would not have been possible. This is just the beginning: throughout the year, we’ll be sharing more stories from our Members, young scientists, and engineers across Europe. 🌍🔬 👉 Watch the first video here: https://youtu.be/D9FVyZOjhZ8 #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #CleanEnergy #Road2Fusion

At EUROfusion’s 2nd in-person workshop on maintenance interfaces with TFV/RH – Divertor, experts tackled one of the toughest challenges: 👉 The Tritium Fuel Vacuum (TFV) system, whose massive pumping unit may need to be removed for divertor maintenance with remote handling tools. Key debates included the He-starting option for reducing heat loads during ramp-up—a promising but not-yet-official approach. This option could impact pump types, port allocation, divertor cassette body design, and overall layout. With studies ongoing, critical parameters are being defined now, while remote maintenance tooling for Divertor, Limiters, and TFV remains central. The workshop concluded with a visit to Divertor Test Platform 2 (DTP2) in Tampere, where ITER’s divertor remote handling operations are tested. 🙏 Thanks to VTT for hosting and providing valuable insights. #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion #Road2Fusion #EngineeringInEurope #CleanEnergy #EURATOM 🔧🖥️📐 👷👩🔬 ⚛️
