Tratos Superconductor Cable for Fusion for Energy Application

Tratos has been involved in the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) fusion for energy superconductor cables project since its inception.

Tratos’ purpose-built cable is used to create some of the largest and most challenging superconducting electromagnets ever produced in human history.

Tratos is responsible for the production of Cable-In-Conduit (CIC) superconducting wire. The wire was destined for the worldwide construction of magnets for the ITER reactor and also the Japanese JT60SA. F4E (Fusion4Energy) awarded Tratos the contract for cabling and jacketing of approximately 20 km of ITER Toroidal Field (TF) conductors and in the region of 28 km of JT-60SA TF conductors, plus the jacketing of around 22 km of Poloidal Field (PF) conductors.

ICAS (Innovation and Consulting on Applied Superconductivity) was founded in September 2010, with the original scope of supplying the European portion of the superconducting conductors for the ITER and the JT-60SA nuclear reactors, in France and Japan. It provides services and products serving Superconductivity and High Tech power applications.

Tratos is a manufacturer of superconductor cables for the most significant and most challenging superconducting electromagnets in the world.
