The "invisible system" that makes all things possible

It is easy to spot all the big equipment going into ITER; what is not so visible is the underlying software that makes the equipment come alive.

Zero-gravity in a cramped place

The volume of the tokamak pit may be huge, but so are the components that need to be installed. As a result, assembly operators will have very little room to manoeuvre. One tool is under development that will aid in the...

A closer look at KSTAR

Over its twelve years of operation, the KSTAR tokamak (for Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) has built an extremely valuable database for the future operation of ITER as well as for the design basis of a...

Six of nine completed

The European Domestic Agency is responsible for the fabrication of nine pre-compression rings (three top, three bottom and three spare). The first five have been successfully tested and delivered.

Milestone celebrated for key ITER component

Japan completes the first D-shaped coil of the ITER tokamak

In a ceremony on 30 January, a major industrial achievement was celebrated in Japan—the completion of the first 360-tonne D-shaped toroidal field coil for the ITER tokamak. This first-of-a-kind magnet will leave the port...

What should ITER expect?

After nearly four years of deliberation, Brexit became a reality at midnight on 31 January 2020. Given that the United Kingdom is one of the 35 countries participating in the ITER Project, many are asking: what does...

Launch of a new video series

A new video series will take you closer to the people and the progress of ITER through regular installments.

Collaboration on disruption mitigation

ITER-like disruption mitigation at KSTAR

Two weeks ago at the Korean tokamak KSTAR, the technology chosen for disruption mitigation at ITER—shattered pellet injection—was tested for the first time in an ITER-like dual-injection configuration.

Seven fan cylinders in place

From river to droplets and mist

A subterranean river runs through the ITER installation. Rushing through 60 kilometres of piping, passing through dozens of pumps, filters and heat exchangers at a rate of up to 14 cubic metres per second, its flow is...

How quickly it goes!

There are many challenges in communicating ITER and one is to keep pace (from a visual point of view) with the progress of the Tokamak Building.

Seeking sponsors for 28th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference

For only the third time since 1961, the International Atomic Energy Agency's Fusion Energy Conference will be taking place in France—hosted jointly by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)...

French safety authority inspects sector #6 in Korea

Under constant scrutiny

Because one of the elements involved in the fusion reaction is the radioactive isotope tritium, and because the hydrogen fusion reaction itself generates a highly energetic neutron, ITER is classified as a nuclear...

Alien structures and strange contraptions

There are places in ITER that seem to belong to another world, places full of alien structures and strange contraptions. The feeling—a mixture of awe and puzzlement—is especially acute inside the Magnet Power Converter...

Crane hall structure takes shape

A changing landscape

For the past three years, the view from the top of the highest worksite crane has not changed much. Inside of the Tokamak Complex, 80 metres below, concrete galleries took shape and progressively hid the circular...

How to pump 20 MW of power into 1 gram of plasma

To power the ion cyclotron system, the ITER Organization and its partners are designing not only new antennas, which will be housed in the tokamak vessel, but also the robust transmission lines that will connect the...

White, silent and immobile

Ten years ago, in mid-January 2010, heavy snow fell on Provence and the white blanket that settled on the ITER platform accentuated its main feature: utter emptiness.

First power supply delivered

Turning the key in your car causes an electrical current to be sent from your battery to your car's engine, where a small electrode (or "spark plug") generates an electrical discharge to ignite the fuel and make your...

A new ergonomic design

Thanks to a recent design decision, ITER's main control room can be built more ergonomically, while minimizing cost.

Commissioning with load completed

The final test operation for the twin sector sub-assembly tools—commissioning with load—was completed in the Assembly Hall on 26 November.

“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.
