ITER @ October science festivals

Every October, before schools pause for two weeks of holiday, towns and cities in France open their municipal spaces to scientific experts of all stripes who are eager to share their areas of expertise with the general...

A glimpse into the future for commercial fusion reactors

Most of the USD 7 billion in investment in private fusion initiatives has gone to companies that are building devices from the ground up. But recently, another breed of entrepreneur has come onto the scene: industrial...

ITER Director-General visits Russia

The ITER Director-General was in Russia last week, meeting with stakeholders and holding technical meetings with colleagues in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Sector 5 is on its way

The first vacuum vessel sector produced in Europe travelled last week between Monfalcone, Italy, and the French port of Fos-sur-Mer.

ITER Document Management system turns 20

Whatever its nature, every large project generates huge numbers of documents. And when project collaborators operate from different countries, as was the case for ITER in the early 2000s, the challenge is twofold...

Train traveller? Meet ITER

Anyone arriving at or leaving from the Aix-en-Provence high-speed train station this month is liable to learn a little about the ITER project, as there is hardly a waiting area or walkway that does not display large...

Latvia mints a fusion-themed coin

Last week, ITER Plant Installation Program Manager Bertrand Roques brought back a small but highly symbolic contribution to the ITER budget from a colloquium in Riga, Latvia—a 5-euro fusion-themed coin.

Innovative approaches and how ITER can help

More than 30 private fusion companies from around the world attended ITER's inaugural Private Sector Fusion Workshop in May 2024 . Four of them participated in a panel discussion on innovative fusion approaches, offering...

A vision turned into reality

Robert Aymar, who played a key role in the development of fusion research in France and worldwide, and who headed the ITER project for 10 years (1993-2003) before serving as CERN Director General from 2004 to 2008...

United in a common goal

Gathered on the ITER platform for a group photo (the first one since 2019, in pre-Covid times) the crowd looks impressive. Although several hundred strong, it represents only a portion of all the men and women involved...

Europe completes first of five sectors

The ITER assembly teams are gearing up to receive a 440-tonne machine component shipped from Italy —sector #5, the first of five vacuum vessel sectors expected from the European Domestic Agency over the next two years.

Dublin conference highlights progress and outstanding challenges

Nestled in the residential suburb of Glasnevin, Dublin City University is a fairly young academic institution. When it opened its doors in 1980 it had just 200 students; 44 years later it is the academic home of 19,000...

Japan qualifies outer vertical target

A four-year program to manufacture and test a full-scale prototype of the divertor outer vertical target has successfully come to an end in Japan, as manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries receives the green light for...

All that glitters is not silver

The ITER superconducting magnets, which operate at the ultra-cold temperature of 4 K ( minus 269 °C), must be protected from any type of heat transfer. Several components contribute to the magnetic system's thermal...

"100,000 welcomes" for participants

The 33rd Symposium on Fusion Technology ( SOFT 2024) opened on Monday 23 September in Gaelic. Dublin City University Vice President for Academic Affairs, Lisa Looney, wished conference participants a traditional Irish...

"We are all accountable"

In 2023, 1,000 workdays were lost to accidents and injuries on the ITER site. This is considerably less than the average in European countries but approximately twice more than, for instance, on the EPR nuclear plant...

Ride 4 Fusion arrives at ITER

It was a photo finish last Thursday 19 September. After 900 km and 10,000 metres of climbing, the Ride 4 Fusion team that had started in Padua ten days earlier crossed the entrance to the ITER site.

Navigating an obstacle course

What is simple and commonplace in the ordinary world, like connecting an electrical device to a power source, often takes on extraordinary dimension at ITER. Whereas in most daily-life circumstances, copper cables...

Back in the starting blocks

Close to two years have passed since vacuum vessel assembly was halted when defects were identified in the ITER tokamak's vacuum vessel sectors and thermal shield. Following months of analysis, strategy definition and...

Good fun under the Provencal sun
