ABSTRACT

268For the developing country like India, nuclear energy is important to ensure long-term energy security. Utilization of domestic reserve of thorium is important; and hence, research in fusion reactor is also important. Multilayered fusion reactor components require lot of research prior to actual component fabrication, which is required to be installed into the fusion reactor. This chapter deals with the study of infrastructure facilities required for such fabrications. Some of the facilities like HIP and Laser welding are discussed in detail.
