Jacobs was selected to design and engineer remotely-operated tools for ITER.
A four-year framework with a possible two-year extension, the contract covers work on up to 25 diagnostic ports and systems that are critical for operating and sustaining the ITER experimental machine now being built in Provence, France.
The project will capitalize on extensive remote-handling experience and knowledge of the diagnostics and port cell areas gained from previous work.
ITER aims to create the conditions for a self-sustaining fusion reaction, which is a crucial stepping stone toward developing fusion power stations and creating a new source of emission-free, almost unlimited energy for the world.
With approximately USD 15bn in annual revenue and a talent force of more than 60,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical, scientific and project delivery for the government and private sector.
