Abstract
This Yearbook summarises the 2022 research and industry activities of the FinnFusion Consortium. The present emphasis of the FinnFusion programme is the following: (i) Technology R&D for ITER construction and systems including industry contracts; (ii) Implementation of the Fusion Roadmap to the Realization of Fusion Energy as a member of the EUROfusion Consortium; (iii) Creating concepts for the next generation fusion power plant DEMO in Europe.
The members of FinnFusion are VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., Aalto University, Comatec Ltd., CSC - IT Center for Science Ltd., EOS Finland Ltd., Fortum Power and Heat Ltd., Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, Luvata Ltd., Platom Ltd., Tampere University, University of Helsinki and Åbo Akademi University.
FinnFusion participates in several EUROfusion work packages, the largest being experimental campaigns at JET and ASDEX Upgrade and related analyses, advanced computing, materials research, plasma-facing components and remote maintenance.
F4E projects in 2022 focused on the development of the High Level Control System subsystems for ITER Remote Handling System.
EUROfusion supports post-graduate training through the Education work package that allowed FinnFusion to partly fund 37 PhD students in FinnFusion member organizations. In addition, two EUROfusion Researcher and Engineering Grants were running in 2022.
The FinnFusion annual seminar 2022 was coupled with two other Nuclear Ecosystems (SMRs and Decommissioning) in an event called Nuclear Energy Ecosystems' Open Business Day 2022. The event was organized by VTT in cooperation with FinNuclear and jointly funded by Business Finland co-innovation projects EcoSMR, dECOmm, ECO-Fusion and project FINUELS.
