Aims of the project: The project aims to research, develop and validate high temperature and ionizing radiation resistant magnetic sensors based on the use of nanotechnologies and advanced ceramic-metal components. The sensors are intended for the control system of the magnetic field in thermonuclear power reactors and in the nuclear industry. The developed sensors are one of the key components necessary for magnetic isolation of high temperature plasma, especially with regard to the conditions and parameters of the upcoming fusion power reactors. The project will expand the scope for the involvement of the Czech industry in the preparation of a new energy sector - fusion power plants.
