Europe completes all "double pancakes"

Each one of ITER's giant, D-shaped toroidal field coils is built from seven "double pancakes"—layers of spiralled conductor that carry electrical current. Contractors to the European Domestic Agency have now realized 70...

In the cradle of the cryostat

On the northwestern coast of India, facing the Arabian Peninsula, Hazira is one of the subcontinent's major industrial hubs. Under the still-blazing autumn sun, the landscape is one of refineries, shipyards, power plants...

First machine component enters pit

First machine component enters the tokamak pit

A new chapter opened last night in the history of ITER construction as the first machine component entered the tokamak pit through the narrow opening in the bioshield lid.

Remote handling confirmed

The ITER Organization is putting a number of its planned remote handling activities to the test in a five-year collaboration* with the UK Atomic Energy Authority's RACE facility. The first implementing agreement of the...

A task force to face the challenge

When operating tokamaks of the size of ITER, one of the key systems to ensuring reliable and successful operation from the very first campaign onward is the disruption mitigation system.

Procurement agreement for torus and cryostat cryopumps

Time to hand over to industry

After more than 12 years of development, the ITER cryopump is ready for industrial procurement. The Procurement Arrangement for the eight production torus and cryostat cryopumps was signed on 16 November 2018 between the...

E-house finds a home

In February 2017, two very cumbersome loads were delivered from China to the ITER site: measuring respectively 8.3 and 8.7 metres in width, the two "E-houses" for the steady-state electrical network came close to...

Pace and performance on track

Working as an integrated team, the ITER Organization and seven Domestic Agencies are continuing to meet the project's demanding schedule to First Plasma in 2025. Pace and performance were confirmed this week at ITER...

Testing the endurance of steering mirror bellows

On the computer screen, a set of three metal bellows "breathe" in a steady rhythm. Nuclear engineer Natalia Casal and materials engineer Toshimichi Omori are on a Skype call with the Swiss Plasma Center in Lausanne to...

News from the Neutral Beam Test Facility

At Consorzio RFX, where ITER's most powerful external heating system will be tested in advance, activities are progressing well on two distinct test beds.

Rehearsing a grand production

There is a place near Santander, Spain, where one can actually feel what ITER will be like. Although we've seen dozens of drawings and 3D animations, the encounter with a true-size mockup of the ITER vacuum vessel comes...

All about vacuum

A plasma-enlightened training course

The Vacuum Section hosted approximately 40 people last week from the ITER Organization and the Domestic Agencies for a two-day training session on vacuum.

The next generation of fusion experts

ITER hosts the future

For three days last week, the ITER building was brimming with energy, inspiration and enthusiasm. One hundred and thirty-five young fusion aficionados took over the ground floor to exchange with one another and with ITER...

What's next for the stellarator?

Earlier this year, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator fusion project reported record achievements from its most recent experimental campaign. Newsline spoke with the project's Scientific Director Thomas Klinger about the...

Perfectly planned points

Inside of the Tokamak Complex, a network of 2,000 small "fiducial target nests" will provide the reference datum for the dimensional control and alignment of machine components and plant systems.

First component installed next week

In the third week of November, the ITER Organization will be installing the first component of the machine in the basement of the Tokamak Building.

Lifting a sixty-tonne leaf

There is a set of doors in the ITER Tokamak Building that makes one feel like Gulliver in Brobdingnag, the land of the giants in Jonathan Swift's novel. Massive in dimension and weight, the doors require a custom-made...

Steel ingots cooling in India

Cryostat segments are made of this

Doric or ionic? Neither. What looks like broken columns from a Greek temple are in fact steel ingots, cooling on a bed of black sand inside the Larsen & Toubro foundry in Hazira, India.

Fusion Energy Conference 2018 in India

New windows into plasma behaviour

There's a cloud of melancholy hanging over the main hall of the Mahatma Mandir convention centre, like when a family reunion comes to an end. For six days in India, the fusion community—old hands and newcomers, wise...

A community newspaper

Twelve years ago, men and women from three continents began gathering in a set of prefabricated offices within the premises of CEA Cadarache, one of France's major nuclear research centres. They were the vanguard of the...
