Abstract
The International thermo-nuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is a huge experimental facility for the fusion energy research field to be built in the coming years in France. The extreme conditions (high temperatures, large heat loads, thermal fatigue, and nuclear radiation) require very special materials and dissimilar bonding of metals to be used. TNO develops the explosive cladding technology (as an alternative bonding mechanism) in order to demonstrate the potential of this bonding route for ITER components.
