## Description

MPEX Microwave Absorber Brazements The Material-Plasma Exposure experiment (MPEX), a superconducting magnet, steady-state device, is being constructed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), going forward referred to as “the Company,” to address the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor. This device, as designed, will have the unique feature of being able to conduct accelerated lifetime tests of plasma-facing components, including those that have experienced neutron damage.

The in-vessel components are plasma-facing components that accept high heat loads and are part of the vacuum envelope of the MPEX Device. The brazements in this procurement are used to build the Microwave Absorber, an in-vessel component.
