Development of Flexible Mirror Mounts for cCXRS Diagnostics for ITER: Design, Calculation and Simulation of Flexures

A nuclear fusion reactor is currently being built by the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in Cadarache, France. The process of fusing hydrogen isotopes into heavier elements releases a vast amount of heat which will be tapped to produce hot water and electricity. The vacuum co...
