A family's day with Tungsten
The son has to study for a test in physics and reads about the use of
Tungsten in the first wall materials for unclear fusion reactors, which might
contribute to energy generation in the future.
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
ITER is an international project to make fusion technology technically
feasible; tungsten is considered as the best material to withstand the
operating conditions in a nuclear fusion reactor divertor.

configuration. The progressive year-byyear transition from a carbon
configuration into a tungsten one has enabled insights to be gathered
into tokamak operation with this plasma facing material. (Photo: IPP)
