Assystem takes next step in fusion power project

摘要

The Spherical Tokomak for Energy Production (STEP) project, which aims to design a power station fired by nuclear fusion, has announced Assystem as a new collaborator. The France-based company will provide designs for a key component of the fusion system and provide services that will help other collaborators deliver the project. STEP is a UK government-proposed project to take a lead in the development of fusion.
