India’s major technology-powered conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a new order (significant) from the France-headquartered intergovernmental body – the ITER organisation for deployment of critical advanced technologies for assembly of ports & complex parts with the Vacuum Vessel at the world’s major nuclear fusion project at Cadarache in Southern France.
The Company also inked an MoU with the ITER Organization – for technical collaboration on the project. Under the MoU, L&T will help the ITER Organization with the development of ‘state of the art’ technology for the ‘first of a kind’ hardware and assembly of all such fusion relevant systems inside the vacuum vessel of ITER Tokamak to control the plasma operation. Majority of these activities will be in the Tokamak pit at the ITER site.
