Europe's coil #5 unloaded at Fos harbour

Of the eighteen D-shaped toroidal field coils (plus one spare) that are needed for the ITER Tokamak, four (two from Europe and two from Japan) have already been delivered to ITER.

Blowing cold and hot

If the cryodistribution system were a railroad, the cryogenic termination cold box would be its main switch. A massive structure packed with pipes, valves, electrical feedthroughs and pneumatic actuators, the termination...

Captured from on high

With assembly tools standing 22 metres tall, massive bridge cranes straddling the width of the building, and alien-shaped components placed at regular intervals on its perfectly smooth floor, the ITER Assembly Hall is...

Assembly moves ahead

The Twenty-Seventh Meeting of the ITER Council took place by videoconference on 18 and 19 November 2020, chaired by LUO Delong from China. Representatives of the seven ITER Members evaluated project progress and...

Translating JET into ITER

With an inner wall made of beryllium and tungsten, the European tokamak JET is the only tokamak in the world to share the same material environment as ITER. When it begins a new experimental campaign with ITER fuels in...

Major progress you don't see from the air

There was a time when aerial pictures of the ITER worksite taken at six-month intervals showed spectacular change. Buildings and structures sprouted from previously vacant lots, new levels were added to existing...

Pushing manufacturing to the limit

A unique set of challenges calls for a unique set of manufacturing approaches. The ITER Organization is partnering with industry to demonstrate the advanced manufacturing techniques required for ITER's first line of...

Todd Evans, a pioneer in three-dimensional magnetic fields

The fusion community is without one of its most creative members with the passing away of Todd Evans last month. Todd dedicated most of his career to furthering the theoretical and experimental understanding and...

MAST Upgrade turns on the switch

Plasma is back inside the spherical chamber of the United Kingdom's MAST Upgrade tokamak after a seven-year campaign to upgrade the device. With its renewed capabilities, MAST Upgrade will serve as an important test...

How to (carefully) transfer ITER's heaviest components

Functional tests on the "sector lifting tool" have demonstrated that the tool's controller and actuators are ready to implement operator commands during the delicate lifting operations of vacuum vessel sectors, toroidal...

How you can support the ITER Research Plan

In describing the R&D program of the ITER device, the ITER Research Plan also identifies the top R&D issues requiring consolidation or refinement. In the interest of making these R&D support needs more widely accessible...

Full circle

In the ITER Assembly Hall, the circle of the lower cryostat thermal shield is now complete. A lot of work remains to be done, however, before the silver-plated component is inserted into the assembly pit in about one...

Filling the gap

Inside the tokamak assembly pit, two small machines are entrusted with a formidable task: faultlessly and seamlessly welding the first two sections of the cryostat. Following the manual welding of feeder stubs and...

First welding on the vacuum vessel

Beginning in 2035, ITER will open a window into "burning plasmas"—a state of matter that exists in the core of stars only. Observing, assessing and monitoring this yet unexplored territory of physics will require a vast...

Machining workshop opens on site

Construction of an on-site machining workshop began in December 2019 and was completed on schedule in September 2020.

Power is ready for the prototype injector

The European Domestic Agency has carried out successful site acceptance tests at the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility on power supply equipment installed overhead in the spectacular high voltage deck—a Faraday cage box...

Assessing the future work environment

As part of their collaboration within the Site Support Agreement*, ITER and its neighbour CEA are developing a novel approach to explore, analyze and assess the work environment in the port cells dedicated to the...

First components arrive on site

ITER has received the first shipments of mineral-insulated conductor for ITER's in-vessel coils. The first lengths are destined for winding and bending trials as well as for the production of the first vertical stability...

ITER Scientist Fellows make progress

New research results open a path to an integrated solution for optimizing the control of stationary and transient power fluxes on ITER.

Canada returns to the table

Canada, one of the early participants in ITER, is back in the project. On Thursday 15 October, Bernard Bigot, on behalf of the ITER Organization, and Assistant Deputy Minister Dan Costello, on behalf of the Canadian...
