Europe and Korea enter partnership on tritium breeding

The Test Blanket Module Partnership Agreement signed between the European Domestic Agency, the Korean Domestic Agency, and the ITER Organization (as nuclear operator) opens the way for Korea and Europe to develop a joint test blanket module concept. Test blanket modules are the breeding elements of each of the four tritium breeding blanket systems that will be tested on ITER. More at: https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3852

The technology for disruption mitigation advances

The ITER disruption mitigation system has reached a high level of maturity, thanks to collaboration within the ITER Disruption Mitigation System Task Force. This picture shows how the shattered pellet injectors at the heart of the system will be integrated into an ITER port plug. For more information, see https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3847.

Top lid wrapping

The top lid needs to be protected for outdoor storage. After two layers of volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) material were applied, a thick cover (1.5 tonnes) is being added to ensure appropriate protection. More at: https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3844
