A soft landing for a giant component

With the delicate touch of a butterfly settling on a branch, engineers have successfully transferred the 440-tonne load of vacuum vessel sector #6 from its overhead radial beam to its gravity support below.

Only one sector to go

The European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy delivered sector #3 of the ITER vacuum vessel on Thursday 7 May. Only one more sector is needed to build the ITER plasma chamber.

Young minds engineering the future

As part of an ongoing initiative to encourage young talent to consider a future in fusion, the ITER Organization participated in the 17th edition of the Olympiades des Sciences de l’Ingénieur, a student engineering...

How fusion is teaching AI new tricks at ITER

Artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly by learning from abundant digital information—text, images, code, and video gathered at internet scale. Fusion energy presents a very different challenge.

Pietro Barabaschi has a message: “Constructive competition is good for our field”

In welcoming several hundred members of the global fusion ecosystem to ITER last week for the 3rd ITER Public-Private Fusion Workshop , ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi shared his view that the multiplication of...

The conversation deepens

Since 2024, the ITER Organization has convened three public-private fusion workshops—each shaped in different ways by the fast-evolving dynamics of the global fusion ecosystem. The latest edition zeroed in on...

Shouldering the load

The machine assembly team is preparing for a first-of-its-kind operation: transferring the weight of an installed vacuum vessel sector from its overhead suspension beam to a gravity support below. The key to the move...

Welcoming the fusion ecosystem to ITER

The 3rd ITER Public-Private Fusion Workshop takes place this week at ITER Headquarters in southern France.

Third operation campaign beginning on SPIDER

The world’s most powerful negative ion source is entering a new operational campaign at the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility in Italy, where it is expected to demonstrate stable, high-performance operation at ITER...

US ITER completes central solenoid procurement package

US ITER has completed final deliveries for the central solenoid, the world’s most powerful pulsed superconducting magnet.

Charles Baker, 1943-2026

The ITER Organization is saddened to learn of the passing of Charles C. Baker, an ITER “Home Team Leader" during the launch of Engineering Design Activities, responsible for coordinating American technical contributions...

Japan is developing tooling for initial blanket assembly

A specific set of robotic tools is being developed in Japan to support the initial assembly of ITER blanket components. Designed to operate within tight space constraints, these tools can grip, fasten, tighten, weld, and...

Key ruling on ITER vessel strengthens fit-for-purpose fusion regulatory approach

On 14 April 2026, the French Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ASNR) approved the ITER Organization’s request to exclude the ITER vacuum vessel from French and European pressure equipment rules. By...

Feeder milestone: first-phase assembly achieved

The first stage of feeder assembly—connecting feeder line components in the Tokamak Building galleries—has been completed. Work will now move to the tokamak pit, where tighter spatial and schedule constraints will make...

ITER Post-Graduate Program opens

A new initiative from the ITER Organization offers early-career professionals a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience through structured 24-month assignments. Several positions are currently open, with...

Sector #3 completed in Europe

The penultimate sector of the ITER vacuum vessel is on its way.

New program published

The updated agenda for ITER’s 3rd Public-Private Fusion Workshop , newly published today, marks a clear evolution from the broad thematic framing first described in Newsline in February as “Fusion: a Joint Quest” to a...

On KSTAR, ITER’s plasma control system successfully takes charge

In March, ITER’s plasma control system ( iPCS) was successfully deployed and operated on the KSTAR tokamak in Daejeon, Korea. The primary objective was to validate the behaviour of the ITER plasma control system under...

Holding steady

Before lifting a 1,300-tonne sector module from the assembly tool into the tokamak pit, all the components must first be perfectly secured to prevent movements or damaging clashes. This is where the bracing tool system...

Getting ready to flex

Preparations for the installation of bellows in the Tokamak Building are now underway with the completion of the first welds in the port cells and a customized installation tool sailing towards ITER.
