Divertor dome: full-scale prototype completed in Russia

The Russian Federation is responsible for manufacturing 58 high-tech elements for the ITER divertor—the divertor dome, which is one of three "divertor targets" that will sustain a heat flux estimated at 10 to 20 MWm². The first full-scale prototype has been completed by the industrial contractor.

ITER 2020 Achievement Awards

The ITER Director-General has launched new ITER Awards to recognize achievement in a time of difficulty. The four awards—for First-of-a-Kind Components, Installation and Assembly Sequences, Best Support During the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Balance-of-Plant Systems—are accepted during an on-line ceremony in December by Anil Bhardwaj, leader of the Cryostat Auxiliaries Group; Christophe Montane, crane operator from the company REEL; Joerg Klora, head of the Information Technology Division; and Pascal De Boe, leader of the In-Field Engineering Support Group, on behalf of their teams.

27th ITER Council: major project achievements despite COVID-19

The 27th ITER Council is convened (virtually) from 18 to 19 November 2020 by Council Chair LUO Delong. Members note the continued robust performance of the ITER Project—including component deliveries and assembly progress on site—despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Some impacts on the schedule have been identified and will be thoroughly assessed after the consideration of all mitigation measures.
