Engineering consultancy Assystem (UK) Ltd has been awarded an ITER Remote Handling Framework Contract by Fusion for Energy (F4E). The two year contract includes the design and conceptual engineering of a remote handling system for the ITER torus.
As F4E and ITER organisation procurements ramp up in 2010, the Fusion and Industry team wants to make sure it is able to track UK industry involvement and successes, better identify companies for ITER technology briefings and spot any gaps in the UK's response to ITER business opportunities. To this end we've improved the Fusion and Industry web site to provide more project response tracking facilities.
