New Delhi, June 15 (Ians) India is consistently delivering in-kind contribution to the world's largest first-of-its-kind upcoming fusion reactor Iter in southern France. But India has not been fulfilling in-cash contribution, said its Director-General Bernard Bigot on Tuesday.
Overall, Covid-19 impact may delay Iter's schedule towards achieving the first plasma in 2025, but the machine, which replicates the fusion power of the sun, is on track for full fusion power as per timeline of 2035, he said.
In a virtual interview on the day General Atomics (Ga), based in California, is ready to ship the first module of the Central Solenoid, one of the United States' largest contributions to the Iter fusion project, Bigot told Ians, "India is consistently delivering on its commitments, despite challenges."
All elements of the cryostat, the world's largest high-vacuum pressure chamber, have now been delivered by India, and welding has begun on the final piece -- the cryostat lid.
