ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

In the sixth installment of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Japan's manga series on the project, our hero Taiy? Tenno joins veteran staff member Mirai Mitsuhashi on a visit to the QST* R&D facility for the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ divertor. Researchers there have developed a full-scale prototype for the outer vertical target, one of components of the divertor that will have to withstand the most intense heat load.

By going back in time, Mirai reviews the incredible challenge that was posed to industry and the years of development  that culminated in the successful high heat flux testing of the full-scale prototype. 

Travel along with Mirai and Taiy? by downloading Volume 6 of "ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ: A Small Sun on Earth" (divertor) from the  or directly from the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Publications gallery (comics).
