The first segment focused on the vacuum technology research and development system. Zuo Guizhong, a research fellow at ASIPP, delivered a presentation on key technology breakthroughs, phase-wise summaries, and next-step plans. Following this, in the presence of provincial and municipal functional department leaders, the unveiling ceremony of the "Joint Laboratory for the Development of Tritium-Compatible High-Speed Molecular Pumps" was held. The laboratory will prioritize overcoming a series of core technical challenges, including tritium-compatible materials. Subsequent presentations precisely focused on cutting-edge trends in the fusion reactor vacuum industry, covering topics such as the development of DN400 all-metal valves and large-diameter tritium-compatible cryopumps, providing essential technical support for future industrial upgrades.
