EFDA, on behalf of EURATOM, contracted the European consortium AGAN to build the toroidal field model coil TFMC for the fusion reactor ITER. While doing so, all important production steps and critical components for the coils necessary for ITER were manufactured and tested in the prototype stage.

Babcock Noell manufactured the intermediate coil structure necessary for the test and executed the assembly of the components before the test and acted as the consortial leader of the project team.
