NEW DELHI, June 28 (Xinhua) -- India has started delivery of the components for a global project to build world's largest fusion device in France, local media reported Tuesday.
"So far we have delivered less than 10 percent of total components," Dheeraj Bora, director of Institute for Plasma Research, was quoted by the media as saying in western state of Gujarat.
"First set of vessel shield has been sent to South Korea, cooling water system has been shipped, beam dump has been delivered, and parts of Cryosat have also been delivered," he added.
