Snaking along the ITER itinerary
2025-07-23 - A feeder component from China is currently making its way along the ITER itinerary. Feeders are multi-segment components that "feed" cryogens and power into the magnets from out beyond the bioshield.

Japanese gyrotron gets unpacked in heating building
2025-07-07 - This gyrotron from Japan, one of eight delivered by the Japanese Domestic Agency to ITER, is getting unpacked for installation. These high-tech devices will contribute to plasma heating by injecting high-intensity beams of electromagnetic radiation.

US magnet arrives on site
2025-06-27 - The fifth central solenoid module completes its travel along the ITER itinerary from the port of Fos-sur-Mer and arrives onsite at ITER early in the morning of 27 June. Only one more module is necessary to complete the central solenoid stack at ITER, and it is already en route after tests were completed at US ITER supplier General Atomics.

Central solenoid module nears ITER
2025-06-24 - A central solenoid module that was shipped last month from the port of Houston, Texas, is now on the road to ITER. Manufactured by General Atomics for the US Domestic Agency, the module will travel another two nights along the ITER Itinerary to reach the worksite by Friday.

Deliveries for the magnet cold test bench
2025-06-15 - Power supply equipment for the magnet cold test facility at ITER has been arriving from China in batches. For the last year, a consortium formed by Rongxin Huike Electric Co., Ltd (RXHK), the Institute of Plasma Physics/Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), and Hefei Rongke Hengyang Power Technology Co., Ltd (RHR) has been designing and manufacturing the equipment, which must be ready and installed for facility commissioning this autumn.

5th central solenoid module has reached France
2025-06-09 - The sixth central solenoid module sent by the US Domestic Agency and its partner General Atomics to ITER has been unloaded in the port of Fos-sur-Mer. It will arrive on site at the end of the month.

Central solenoid module travelling
2025-05-22 - A central solenoid module is loaded onto an ocean-going vessel at the port of Houston, Texas (USA). When it arrives at ITER it will be the fifth module added to the central solenoid stack (six are required in all to form the tower-like central solenoid magnet).

Sector #4 uncovered
2025-05-12 - Vacuum vessel sector #4 has been transferred to a storage area inside the former Cryostat Workshop. It is still wrapped in a tarpaulin, but its protective housing has been removed (the housing is visible in the background).
Download
Arrival of sector #4 from Europe
2025-05-09 - Sector #4 is delivered to ITER early in the morning on 9 May 2025.

Sector #4 is near ITER
2025-05-07 - European vacuum vessel sector #4 is just a few kilometres from ITER. Here, we see the convoy setting off for its third night of travel along the ITER itinerary. The sector is expected at ITER early on Friday morning.

Expected in May
2025-04-28 - A second European sector is on its way to ITER. After leaving the Walter Tosto facility in Ortona, Italy, it has made its way to France and was onboarded today for transport across the inland sea of Berre. From there, the 440-tonne sector of the ITER vacuum vessel will travel by road to the ITER site.

Feeder element loaded in China
2025-04-24 - This top correction coil feeder element has been loaded onto a barge in Hefei for transfer to Taicang Port on the Yangtze River estuary. Procured by the Chinese Domestic Agency, magnet feeders provide current and coolant to the different ITER magnet systems.

Sector #4 is travelling
2025-04-13 - Vacuum vessel sector #4 has left the Walter Tosto workshop in Ortona, Italy, and is making its way to storage near the quay where it will be loaded onto a seagoing vessel. When it arrives at ITER in May it will be the second European sector delivered out of five expected.

5th solenoid module heads to ITER
2025-04-03 - A 110-tonne central solenoid module produced by General Atomics (California) is loaded onto a transport trailer for transfer to the port of Houston. This is the fifth module sent to ITER; two more remain, including one spare.
Download
Preparing to transport a central solenoid module
2025-04-02 - Before a central solenoid module can leave the General Atomics factory in California, the transport trailer is load tested. The fifth module (out of six needed to create the central tower magnet of the ITER machine) will begin its journey to Houston port later this month.

Two halves
2025-04-01 - The second upending tool was shipped from Korea in two halves; both are now on site. The tool will be assembled in the weeks to come next to the first tool, where it will help to raise ITER's heaviest components—vacuum vessel sectors and toroidal field coils—to vertical as part of the machine assembly process.

New upending tool: one half arrives on site
2025-03-28 - A second upending tool at ITER will speed up the process of vacuum vessel assembly. The cumbersome frame of tool #2 was shipped in two parts from Korea; the first segment just arrived on site.

Last cryopump delivered
2025-03-27 - The last cryopump has arrived at ITER. A number of units will be tested down to 4.5 K in ITER’s new cryopump test facility.

2d upending tool: barge transfer completed
2025-03-17 - After crossing the inland sea of Berre (photo), the two halves of the upending tool expected at ITER were unloaded for the last leg of the journey—road transport along the 104 km of the ITER itinerary.

2d upending tool soon at ITER
2025-03-16 - One half of an upending tool is brought on board a barge in France to cross the inland sea of Berre. This second upending tool, which will add capacity for the assembly of the vacuum vessel, will soon be at ITER.

Second upending tool on its way
2025-01-18 - In order to accelerate operations related to vacuum vessel sector repair and sector module assembly, the ITER Organization has ordered a second upending tool—a 200-tonne frame designed to lift huge components from horizontal to vertical. Manufactured by Yujin Mechatronics and destined for installation in the ITER Assembly Hall, the tool left the Korean port of Onsan on 18 January. The load was transferred two days later to the seafaring vessel that will reach Fos-sur-Mer harbour in mid-March. (Photo DAHER)
