In the frame of the activities
for the EU Fusion Programme, ANSALDO has manufactured several key fusion machine
components like plasma facing components, power supply converters, remote handling
equipment, divertor and vacuum vessel mock ups, as well as superconducting magnets (no

For ENEA, the Italian Fusion Association, Ansaldo has performed design activities and
supplied high-tech components for the FTU machine and, more recently, has carried out the
engineering design of the IGNITOR tokamak.
As a member of the EFET grouping, ANSALDO has contributed to the detailed design of
most of the ITER load assembly components and, in addition, to the power supplies and to
the primary heat transfer system.
