The flexible Heliac TJ-II was designed on the basis of calculations performed by the team of physicists and engineers of [[CIEMAT]], in collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL, USA) and the Institut für PlasmaPhysik at Garching (IPP, Germany). The TJ-II project received preferential support from [[Euratom]] for phase I (Physics) in 1986 and for phase II (Engineering) in 1990. The construction of this flexible Heliac was carried out in parts according to its constitutive elements, which were commissioned to various European companies, although 60% of the investments reverted back to Spanish companies. | The flexible Heliac TJ-II was designed on the basis of calculations performed by the team of physicists and engineers of [[CIEMAT]], in collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL, USA) and the Institut für PlasmaPhysik at Garching (IPP, Germany).
