The 1250-MT cryostat base manufactured by L&T Heavy Engineering — the single largest section of the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor — was successfully lifted and placed into a reactor building in France, the company said in a statement.
Anil V Parab, executive vice-president and head, L&T Heavy Engineering, said, “ITER is a first of its kind futuristic global project. The cryostat is the largest vacuum vessel ever built with 29.4 meter in diameter, 29 meter in height weighing 3,850 MT. Successful delivery of such complex projects is ingrained in L&T’s culture.”
