(ANSA) - La Spezia, November 20 - An Italian supermagnet
destined for the ITER experimental fusion reactor in southern
France on Monday left the La Spezia site of ASG Superconductors
for the local port from which it will be shipped to Porto
Marghera near Venice.
Cadarache-based ITER aims to demonstrate the feasibility of
the energy of the future, imitating the processes that happen in
stars.
The giant coil is the fruit of collaboration between Italian
industry, the alternative energy group ENEA and the EU's Fusion
for Energy (F4E) agency.
ASG Superconductors is owned by the Malacalza family.
The new magnet is the biggest ever made in the world.
