As Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) prepares for the start of fabrication, ORNL’s Phil Ferguson credits US ITER staff for sharing hard-earned expertise to help jump-start the design of the MPEX superconducting magnet system. MPEX is part of ORNL efforts to realize one of the greatest engineering challenges of the 21st century: delivering energy from fusion. Scheduled to start assembly in 2023, MPEX is a next-generation linear plasma device that will provide a testing chamber for scientists to study how plasma interacts with new materials being developed that can withstand the extreme conditions of fusion power plants.
