ITER - Cadarache

France

One of the most ambitious projects in the world in the field of energy.

In France, in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, 35 countries are involved in the construction of the largest tokamak ever designed, a machine that must demonstrate that fusion can be used as a large-scale energy source that does not emit CO2, to produce electricity.

ITER will be the first fusion installation capable of producing a net quantity of energy. The machine will perform long-lasting plasma discharges and will also test, for the first time, the technologies, materials, and plasma regimes required to produce electricity for commercial purposes.

Baumert contributes to this project, which highlights French know-how in the protection of sensitive sites.

The solution provided by Baumert

BAUMERT was selected for the design, manufacture and installation of 220 neutron and gamma protection doors that offer a flexible solution to the subsequent evolution of the requirements of neutron gates.

One of the challenges of this project was to qualify these doors to the ITER requirements:

  • fire resistance of 2 hours,
  • hydrocarbon fire resistance curve, which is more stringent than for standard fire doors,
  • applying a pressure of 5 kPa to the doors during fire tests.
