The HADES (High heAt loaD tESt) facility, developed by CEA-IRFM, is an advanced testing platform for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion reactors. Leveraging a high-power electron beam and sophisticated diagnostics, it simulates extreme thermal conditions to evaluate PFC performance. Originating from the FE200 platform, HADES supports fusion projects like ITER and WEST. Its precise control, robust cooling, and real-time monitoring offer significant advantages. Beyond fusion, HADES applies to aerospace, automotive, and materials science. Opportunities for industrial collaboration include testing, validation, and advanced material research.
