Tratos’ culture is deeply rooted in research and development in order to foster innovation. Members of the Tratos team in the UK and in Italy have been collaborating in the production of academic papers revolving around the Fusion for Energy project aimed at building the ITER reactor.
The following papers, published by the IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organisation for the advancement of technology, have been co-authored by Tratos President Albano Bragagni and other members of the Tratos team.
The papers revolve around the ITER reactor. Nuclear fusion is deemed one of the options useful to ensure a large-scale, safe, environmentally-friendly and virtually inexhaustible source of energy.
As member of ICAS S.r.l. (Innovation and Consulting on Applied Superconductivity, Società a Responsabilità Limitata) since 2010, the Consortium carries out the vital task of designing and producing the superconducting conductors required to manufacture the magnets used safely contain the plasma in the ITER and the JT-60SA tokamak experimental reactors. The TRATOS Cavi S.p.A. factory site of Pieve Santo Stefano (AR – Italy), is used by ICAS to perform all cabling activities plus other dedicated projects.
