ITER and the world fusion community on stage

The young children called back inside school by the bell on this crisp sunny morning must have no idea what is happening just a few hundred metres down the road. They are probably bewildered by the many police officers...

Open Doors Day goes virtual

For 15 years ITER has been opening its doors to visitors, either in small groups or during regular Open Doors Days. Approximately 160,000 visitors from all horizons—school children, students, members of the public...

Youngeek Jung, head of construction

What Youngeek Jung remembers distinctly about his childhood and teenage years is being hungry and cold. South Korea, where he was born in 1956, was in ruins. "We had nothing. Winters were harsh, with all rivers and lakes...

Tests and verifications prior to assembly

In January next year, the "most powerful magnet in the world" will begin taking shape. The first module of the Tokamak's central solenoid will be positioned on a bespoke platform and the assembly process will begin in...

First of 18 lowered

In all tokamak devices, ITER included, small deviations in the shape or position of the magnets cause unwanted field perturbations that can affect plasma stability and confinement. Correcting these "magnetic field errors...

E-procurement helps to simplify and streamline

The Procurement & Contracts Division at the ITER Organization is rolling out a new e-procurement tool that will simplify and streamline contract management and free the team up to do more of what it does best ... adding...

Partners work in lockstep to keep ITER cool

Much of the cooling water plant is now ready for commissioning, thanks to a well-executed plan and close coordination among partners.

Alberto Loarte elected Fellow

Alberto Loarte, head of the ITER Science Division, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS).

Bringing power to the people

In tandem with the annual Fête de la Science, a French exhibition on the sciences, the European research consortium EUROfusion is premiering a new travelling exhibition on fusion in Marseille, France.

Stellarators "an option" for future power plants

In the history of magnetic fusion, the photo is iconic. A smiling, bespectacled middle-aged man stands next to a strange contraption sitting on a makeshift wooden table. The man is Princeton astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer...

Europe awards final contract

Fifty-four divertor cassettes form the backbone of a unique system designed to exhaust waste gas from the ITER machine and minimize impurities in the plasma. In Europe, the final contract for divertor cassette...

2nd central solenoid module on its way

A second module for the ITER central solenoid, the " most powerful magnet in the world ," is on its way to ITER.

Perfecting the pellet

ITER's success will depend in part on subduing potential plasma instabilities. A team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States is tackling the challenge with shattered pellet injection.

Diamond windows in production in Europe

Synthetic diamond windows will play a double function in the ITER machine—allowing the microwaves of the electron cyclotron heating system to pass through to reach the plasma while providing an effective leak-proof...

Aligning building-size components with millimetric precision

Final alignment has been achieved for the first building block of the ITER plasma chamber—four major components, totalling 1,250 tonnes, have been aligned to within 1 mm of tolerance in the radial, toroidal and vertical...

Like a fire-breathing dragon

With the precision of a surgical tool, the plasma jet cuts through the thickness of the steel plate. As sparks fly, the large circular opening at the centre of the cryostat lid is bathed in pinkish-mauve light—the colour...

A question of balance

Construction on the main ITER Control Building is now underway. Scientists, engineers and operators will work from this building on the platform to monitor machine operation and analyze the data they receive from each...

Diagnostic shielding material qualified in India

Subsequent to the full validation of material production and machining feasibility, "Made in India" boron carbide (B4C) blocks are now qualified for use as radiation shielding material for India's plasma-facing...

Co-locating port plug assembly and testing

For about 20 of the ITER ports that house diagnostics elements, the path to installation in the tokamak passes through a Port Integration Facility on site. Side by side, the port plugs will be equipped with their tenant...

Two coils in a boat

Sailing ten thousand miles alone in a ship's hold can be a very lonely experience. Fortunately for them, toroidal field coils TF2 and TF10 will be able to keep each other company all the way from Japan to the ITER site...
