Fusion

Amec Foster Wheeler is a major

international engineering company

operating globally in more than 55

countries, and has been supporting Civil

Nuclear for more than 60 years.

We have participated in contracts

associated with ITER since 1994, and

were a founder member of European

Fusion Engineering and Technology

Group (EFET)
