The development of a commercial fusion power plant presents a unique set of challenges associated with the complexity of the systems, the integration of novel technologies, the likely diversity and distribution of the organisations involved and the scale of resources required. A framework for creating a digital environment that integrates researc…
Remote maintenance in fusion machines such as JET and ITER relies on sliding interfaces such as bolted joints. Experience in JET, where removal torques much higher than installation values with uncoated bolts is commonplace, led to the installation of experimental bolted assemblies in 2015: the first of its kind in JET. These assemblies included so…
