Russia completes its share of poloidal field conductor

Russia has officially completed its second in-kind Procurement Arrangement for ITER—producing 20 percent of the superconductors required for the poloidal field magnet system.

Project on track for First Plasma in 2025

The ITER Council, ITER's governing body, met for the twenty-second time on 20 and 21 June 2018 at the ITER Organization in Saint Paul-lez-Durance, France. Council Members approved refinements to the construction strategy...

An insatiable appetite for neutrons

Of all the different concrete formulations that are implemented in ITER construction—and there are more than a dozen—one has a unique attribute: an insatiable appetite for neutrons.

A cabin on the roof?

A stellarator record for "triple product"

There is news of success from Wendelstein 7-X, where a record "triple product" value for stellarators was obtained during the most recent experimental campaign.

The second-hand market

Whatever their size, fusion devices are fine pieces of technology that are complex to design and expensive to build. As research progresses and experimental programs unfold, however, scientific institutions routinely...

A set of clamps to resist all loads

China is providing an extensive array of supports and clamps for ITER's superconducting magnet systems—in all, more than 1,600 tonnes of equipment. On 9 June, the first batch of U-shaped poloidal field clamps was on...

Coaxial cables arrive from Russia

Thirty-eight reels of cable on 13 specially equipped trailers ... the recent convoy of electrotechnical equipment shipped by the Russian Domestic Agency was the largest yet to travel between Saint Petersburg and...

Lions and mammoths and cave bears—oh my!

Separated by less than 200 kilometres in space—but by 36,000 years in time—the ITER Tokamak and the Chauvet Cave may seem to have little in common. But to science journalist Pedro Lima, there is a close similarity: each...

First ITER test bed enters operation

For all those who had contributed to designing and building the world's largest negative ion source, it was a deeply symbolic moment. ITER Director-General Bernard Bigot pressed down, and sent into motion a chain of...

Searching for the perfect shape

The perfect magnetic trap doesn't exist. Over time plasma physicists have experimented with different types of cylinders, magnetic mirrors and circular or helical shapes to optimize control of the plasma. While R&D...

Pre-teens can too!

Made-from-scratch movers and carriers were again on display near ITER, as the younger set took up the ITER Robots challenge.

A midnight pour

It is close to midnight in the brightly lit basement of the ITER bioshield and, tonight, the first plot of the Tokamak "crown" is to be poured. The operation is of strategic importance: the crown will support the...

The hottest stuff in ITER

The heat flux sustained by the targets of the ITER divertor will be higher still—by ten times—than that of a space vessel re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Meticulous prototyping and test campaigns are underway to prepare...

In Russia, that makes two

In mid-May, factory acceptance tests were successfully carried out on the second gyrotron of the Russian procurement program by specialists at the Institute of Applied Physics and GYCOM Ltd.

Big cold trap under test

Creating an ultra-high vacuum inside the vast toroidal chamber of the ITER Tokamak—the aptly named "vacuum vessel"—is imperative to initiating plasma operations.

Holding the (precious) water

A second batch of tanks for ITER's water detritiation system has been delivered by Europe for installation in the Tritium Building.

Let's play with plasma

Humans are visual creatures. By offering a number of highly visual table top experiments, the Fusion Road Show illustrated that "seeing is believing" when it had its debut at ITER's Open Doors Day, explaining the...

An awe-inspiring experience

In one of the videos on a continuous loop in the ITER Visitors Centre, Director-General Bernard Bigot introduces the fundamentals of fusion energy by saying: "The principle is simple..."

Different scale, same spirit

A strangely shaped vehicle, the size of a toaster, confidently trudges along a curved line until it reaches a bright blue tablet resembling a bar of soap. It lifts the module carefully and gently places it in the...
