    We are excited to announce a new partnership with @ livermore_lab to advance power and exhaust handling in # fusionenergy pilot plants using machine learning. Efficiently removing particles from the 150M degree fusion plasma is a key challenge. ga.com/ga-and-llnl-an…

    Could the world could see self-sustaining fusion as soon as the 2030s? Yes! And GA is helping make it happen through support of the ITER experiment under construction in France @ITERorg @us_iter bit.ly/2BV11G6

    General Atomics is fabricating the modules for the #ITER central solenoid (CS). When fully assembled, the CS will be the largest pulsed superconducting electromagnet in the world and would be powerful enough to lift an aircraft carrier out of the water. #fusionenergy

    GA is working with @PPPLab to develop important diagnostics for the ITER experiment, such as the Low-Field Side Reflectometer shown here, that will help ITER establish the feasibility of practical fusion energy @ITERorg @us_iter
