EAG (Empresarios Agrupados – GHESA) has signed a long-term strategic agreement with Westinghouse Electric Company to accelerate the global deployment of AP1000® technology, reinforcing its commitment to the expansion of nuclear energy as a safe, efficient, and low-carbon source. This agreement enables EAG to provide specialized engineering services from Spain, leveraging its highly qualified team, […]

All the parties introduced their achievement since the last Progress Meeting and it was nice to see that, important milestones were achieved although some opened the door to new unplanned activities. Designing and building a prototype is something that usually overflows any forecast you may make at the beginning. This project is funded by the […]

The supporting structure for the reactor, the plasma torch and the expansion chamber has been discussed with TEKNIKER. The conclusion is that a reliable, versatile and robust steel structure is needed to provide a solid hanger for the whole assembly. Linked to the supporting structure is the design of the containment that will cover the […]

Candidate materials for the design and construction of DEMO and future fusion reactors will be irradiated at the IFMIF-DONES facility. The concept of this facility is based on neutron radiation generated by the nuclear stripping reaction between 40 MeV deuterons and lithium. Meeting the requirements for the lithium target—provided by the Li systems—poses significant challenges […]

With a minimum delay, the design is considered frozen and the process to start the procurement begins. Several important issues are not completely solved but we keep in mind that deadlines of the project must be respected as delaying others has to be avoided. This project is funded by the European Union and involves leading […]

Once the design has been considered mature enough an unofficial design review was performed to decide what would be the next steps. The outline of the upper part of the master prototype (including the induction unit) was declared closed and so the rest of items, like the supporting structure for the torch and the expansion […]

It was a good opportunity to visualize how all the beneficiaries were progressing with their respective scopes of work. It was great not just to see the actual progress of all the activities but the implication of all the actors aligned to push in the same direction. This project is funded by the European Union […]

The critical issues of the design process have been mainly related to adapt all the components of the #reactor to the proportions required by the prototypes, materials surveys and interface definition and checking. As a result of all this process, the design has been enhanced and some parts of the reactor fixed, for example the […]

We are proud to announce that EAG (Empresarios Agrupados – GHESA) has joined forces with leading companies in the engineering sector to develop technology applied to the development of complex projects. Every partner shared the progress made since our last review, and it was inspiring to see key milestones already ticked off—while new, unexpected opportunities […]

EAG is proud to be part of the Consortium formed to develop Ef fi torch project, along with other eight industrial and academic organisations, to develop an innovative technology for Power-to-X, based on splitting CO₂ using a ultra-high temperature electrodeless thermal plasma to produce a syn-gas that will store the energy transferred in the process […]
