Oxford Superconducting Technology and Alstom Magnets and Superconductors have announced the creation of an alliance to collaborate to supply conductors to ITER, one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. They will be one of four manufacturers of niobium-tin superconductors competing to supply ITER. “OST’s advanced niobium-tin strand design and manufacturing technology, coupled with the strong operational capabilities of Alstom should provide a very robust platform from which we can jointly supply the ITER project,” said Steven Parker, President of Oxford Superconducting Technology and Commercial Director for Oxford Instruments.
