Advancing the Global Fusion Industry through Scientific Engineering
Comprehensive support from conceptual design and multiphysics analysis to prototyping, experimental validation, and scholarly reporting.
Core Expertise
EFAN contributes to the lifecycle of fusion reactor design and construction by adopting a front‑loaded engineering approach, enabling substantial reductions in overall cost and schedule. During the conceptual and preliminary design phases, our team applies structural mechanics, thermal‑hydraulics, electromagnetics, neutron transport simulations, and remote handling trajectory analysis. In addition, EFAN maintains advanced fabrication capabilities such as reactor‑grade welding, electron beam welding (EBW), and hot isostatic pressing (HIP).
