Aiming for a hybrid future

Learning from the COVID-19 experience

The onset and persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic has altered behaviours in every societal sector. At ITER, the complexity of the project and the involvement of 35 countries on three continents compelled the rapid...

EUROfusion becomes part of the team

A new Cooperation Agreement provides the legal framework for the EUROfusion consortium to send select experts, scientists and engineers to the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility in Padua, Italy, and—by doing so—support the...

Don't mess with AC current

Operating the ITER magnetic system requires the same kind of current that batteries deliver to flashlights, laptop computers and smartphones. This current, which flows in one direction only, is called "direct current"...

Leak testing of gravity supports in China

More than just pedestals

In the ITER tokamak, components with the simplest of missions—like supporting a very heavy load—are pieces of highly sophisticated technology. Take the gravity supports situated under each toroidal field coil. In essence...

Divertor plasma-facing units for WEST

China delivers last batch to WEST

It will be very hot, next summer, on WEST plasma-facing components. Equipped with a full ITER-grade tungsten divertor, the CEA-operated tokamak will enter Phase II of its operational program, extending plasma durations...

The welding of the feeder stubs

Operating inside a plastic tent, this welder from MAN Energy Solutions is finalizing the connection between a feeder stub and the cryostat base. Feeder stubs are cylindrical passages for the in-cryostat feeders that are...

Novo Nordisk backs Danish fusion outreach

Technical University of Denmark wins fusion outreach grant

A consequential grant from the Danish Novo Nordisk Foundation will permit two fusioneers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to broaden their educational outreach efforts with a program called "Fusion Energy...

Urgent need for a clean energy transition

On 22-23 September the International Atomic Energy Agency held its annual Scientific Forum on the margins of its General Conference.

Tim Luce, Head of Science & Operation

What does a seven-year-old growing up in a small community in Arkansas know about what it means to be an "atomic scientist"? Probably not much. Except, remembers ITER Chief Scientist Tim Luce, that "it sounded cool ..."

A closer look at shield blocks

Series production milestone in Korea

It takes many months for a single forged block of stainless steel to be transformed into the complex shape of an ITER blanket shield block, full of gullies, channels, gaps, and cutouts. In Korea, series production is...

5 top lid segments expected

A little less than five years ago, in December 2015, the first segments of the ITER cryostat (out of a total of 54) were delivered to the construction site from India.

As ITER begins assembly, HVAC becomes mission critical

Not only will heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) help protect people and equipment during the assembly phase at ITER, but they will also help ensure cleanliness in preparation for First Plasma.

Sector #6 is leak tight

The first ITER vacuum vessel sector has passed a helium leak test on site with flying colours.

In-wall shielding blocks in production

India completes in-wall shielding package

The Indian Domestic Agency has completed the procurement of about 9,000 in-wall shielding blocks and accompanying support ribs, brackets and fasteners. The majority of these elements have been delivered to the...

Feeders for the coils

One by one, whether large or small, the elements of the system that delivers electrical power, cryogenic fluids and instrumentation to the ITER magnets are arriving on site from China.

"Power cords" thicker than train rails

Connecting an electrical device to a power source requires an extension cord, generally made of stranded copper wire. Depending on the required current intensity—are you plugging in a bedside lamp, a washing machine or...

The next sector in line

Thanks to the experience acquired during the fabrication of the first production unit of the vacuum vessel, the Korean Domestic Agency and contractor Hyundai Heavy Industries are advancing the production of three other...

Toroidal field coil #11 navigates narrow route

15 more to come

The ITER machine will require 18* toroidal field coils—the D-shaped superconducting magnets that are responsible for confining the plasma in the centre of the torus-shaped plasma chamber. Since April four of them, two...

Levage du cylindre inférieur du cryostat

Another major assembly achievement

The setting, the atmosphere, the tension, and the sequence of operations were similar, but the challenges were slightly different. The cryostat base, which was inserted into the assembly pit back in May, was an...

A milestone for assembly

Massive, intense and spectacular

The 2020 summer months saw some of the most massive, intense and spectacular activities in ITER Project history.

“The repair campaign obliged us to rethink the way we work”

Scientist Aparajita Mukherjee

ITER ("The Way" in Latin) is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today.
