India starts delivery of components for global clean energy project

Xinhua, June 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

India has started delivery of the components for a global project to build world's largest fusion device in France, local media reported Tuesday.

"So far we have delivered less than 10 percent of total components," Dheeraj Bora, director of Institute for Plasma Research, was quoted by the media as saying in western state of Gujarat.

"First set of vessel shield has been sent to South Korea, cooling water system has been shipped, beam dump has been delivered, and parts of Cryosat have also been delivered," he added.

The institute is taking care of the Indian part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project that aims at producing carbon-free energy.

The project is scheduled to be ready by December 2025, Bora said. Other parties involved in the project are European Union, China, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. and Russia. Endit
