Making progress, preparing an updated baseline

Like clockwork, the life of the ITER project is punctuated by biannual ITER Council meetings in June and November every year. Months in advance, reports are produced and reviewed by relevant specialists at the ITER...

D-shaped coils will be tested at 4 K

The ITER superconducting magnets will operate at 4 K (minus 269 °C, a temperature barely above absolute zero) and will carry extremely strong electrical current (up to 68 kA). How will these first-of-kind components...

Tricky reflections

Ahead of repairs, sector module #6, which was extracted from the tokamak pit in early July, is being dismantled in one of the twin sub-assembly tools. One toroidal field coil has already been removed and placed into...

Experts share research updates and progress

A lucky set of circumstances brought together different experts on neutral beam injection for a few days at ITER in October. Achieving the requirements for the ITER neutral beam system in terms of power, energy, and...

California lawmakers and environmentalists explore ITER

Members of the California Foundation on the Environment and the Economy (CFEE) travel the world to study the most significant initiatives in terms of environmental preservation and innovation.

A prize-winning story of metallic melting in tokamaks

An obvious property of metals is that they melt, and metallic components directly facing the plasma are one thing ITER has a whole lot of. A total surface area of about 800 m² to be more precise. What happens when they...

A United Nations plenary in the ITER amphitheatre

Speaking and acting as seasoned diplomats and referring to one another as "the honourable representative" of the country they chose to represent, one hundred French high-school students took the stage in the ITER...

At a "crucial moment" in fusion development

The regular chimes of Big Ben sound in the background; the British Parliament is just around the corner. For one week in October London's Westminster City—the bustling political power centre of the United Kingdom...

Making fusion fun

Bringing ITER out into the community was the job of 14 volunteers in October, as the ITER Organization participated two weekends in a row in France's annual Festival of Science (Fête de la Science).

More results from JET's record-breaking 2021 campaign

In 2021, researchers from the European consortium EUROfusion introduced the high-performance fuel mix of deuterium and tritium into the JET tokamak for only the second time in its history. The "DTE2" campaign that...

Final concrete pour and other updates

Because most of its systems will only be needed when ITER operates at full nuclear power, work on the Tritium Building was put on hold in 2018, only to resume in the spring of 2021. Two-and-a-half years later, civil...

There goes the unique spreader beam

Of all the lifting devices used on the ITER construction site, the circular spreader beam in the European Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility was among the most spectacular and uncommon. Designed to transport coil...

A coat of boron to capture impurities

Impurities, in the form of particles detached from materials inside the vacuum vessel, can be among a plasma's worst enemies. Even in trace amounts, they drain energy from the plasma, degrade its performance and lead in...

Civil engineering officially complete

On 21 September, the European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy and contractors celebrated an important milestone: the official completion of civil engineering works in the Tokamak Building.

WEST tokamak, inside and out

Someone waking up inside of WEST, the French tokamak located barely one kilometre away from ITER, would think they had been transported into an alien spaceship—and more specifically, into the stranded star-faring vessel...

Breaking ground at IFMIF-DONES

Construction is now underway in Granada, Spain on the IFMIF-DONES project (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-Demo Oriented NEutron Source). The facility aims to solve one of the key roadblocks towards...

Director-General Barabaschi visits Japan

Japan is a very familiar place for ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi. His past position as the Director of the Broader Approach activities at the European Domestic Agency, Fusion for Energy, led him to visit Japan...

First cryopump expected in the coming months

The cryopumps that will create and maintain extremely demanding vacuum conditions inside the ITER machine are marvels of technology that have been in development for over 15 years in Europe. The first production unit is...

STAC committee reviews new plans for construction and operation

Last week, the ITER Council Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) met at ITER Headquarters to review the new plans for construction and operation proposed by the ITER Organization and Member's Domestic...

Fusion energy strongly advocated

Last week the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) held its annual General Conference, with delegates representing more than 130 countries and many international organizations including ITER. The conference...
