CHIMERA High Heat Flux System Laser Procurement
What the buyer wrote
UKAEA requires a 125kW fibre laser system for integration into the CHIMERA test facility. This is to provide the capability for testing prototype fusion reactor components under “high heat flux”, in the region of 10s of MW/m2, or even “very high heat flux”, in the region of 100s of MW/m2. We require the ability to apply high heat flux for long periods or for short well-defined pulses. This functionality enables tests of prototype fusion reactor wall components and the ability to simulate certain fusion plasma extreme transient events, which are thought to be a high risk for the fusion programme including the now under-construction ITER experiment.
Bid for this and lost? There is a short window in which the decision can be questioned.
