“Granada will be the world reference for the development of fusion materials, but also for accelerator technologies”
Ángel Ibarra interview, leader of the IFMIF-DONES project – The IFMIF-DONES project addresses nuclear fusion. Which is the exact aim of this project? – The aim of the project is to qualify the materials to be used in the DEMO fusion reactor. The harsh environment in a fusion reactor (vacuum, temperature, radiation…) cannot be found […]
