Apollo and ITER: payoffs from large science projects

Sustained investment in "big science" projects is never easy due to the extended time frames, fluctuation of cost estimates, and inevitable risks. Yet time and time again, history has proven that great socioeconomic...

A familiar yet changing view

The view is familiar: a large Kaaba-like structure towering above a complex arrangement of walls and columns; a circular structure emerging from a carpet of iron rebar and steel plates; large and low buildings on each...

First cryolines reach ITER

All eyes on the neutral beam source

Millions of watts of heating power can be delivered to the plasma using neutral beam injection—the work horse of ITER's external heating methods. A research and development program is underway to test the critical...

Cold boxes reach home

Three cryogenic plant cold boxes were moved last week from temporary storage to their final destination on the ITER site. It was the occasion to remember a piece of ITER history—that the former French President François...

Kazakh Tokamak celebrates first plasma

The fusion world directed its applause to the east earlier this month as the Kazakh tokamak KTM started operations with a first plasma discharge.

Without minimizing challenges, Council reaffirms commitment

On 24 October 2007, the ITER Organization was officially established following the ratification by the seven ITER Members of the project's constitutive document, the ITER Agreement. Now, nearly ten years on, a unique...

Small delivery for a very massive tool

Heat waves

Plasma is like a tenuous mist of particles—light atoms that have been dissociated into ions (the atom nucleus) and free-roaming electrons. In order to study plasma physics or to create the conditions that make fusion...

What a difference ten days make

There was a time when progress in Tokamak Complex construction was easy to follow. Excavation in 2010; the creation of the ground support structure and seismic foundations from 2010 to 2014; the achievement of the...

What's in the box?

At ITER, even the opening of a box takes on a spectacular dimension. The operation requires a powerful crane, a full team of specialists and, as everything ITER, the utmost care and precision.

European Commission has "positive appreciation" of ITER progress

On 14 June, the European Commission issued a Communication presenting the revised schedule and budget estimates for European participation in ITER. Its object? To provide the necessary grounds to request the support of...

Kazakh poet-ambassador: anti-nuclear and pro-fusion

Excitement was tangible among the invited guests and journalists when Olzhas Suleimenov , one of the most influential and respected poets and writers in modern Kazakhstan, visited the French pavilion and the ITER...

ITER signs Cooperation Agreement with Kazakhstan

The ITER Organization has officially welcomed the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC-RK) as a new technical collaborator.

The challenge of superconducting joints

Destined for the lower levels of the Tokamak Building the magnet feeders —which will route supercritical helium, large amounts of electrical power and instrumentation to the superconducting magnet systems—are some of the...

ITER stars at EXPO-2017 in Astana

After years of design, construction and installation, the futuristic stage was set: a grand glass-walled sphere surrounded by the pavilions of 100 countries, the exhibits of 10 international organizations, and fair...

Fusion at home in Shanghai

Skyscrapers flirting with the mist, hordes of bicycles on the street below ... modernity and ancestral tradition mixed in Shanghai where, for the first time in its 52-year history, the Symposium on Fusion Engineering...

First batch of cryolines en route from India

Over five kilometres of cryolines (5.5 km) will be necessary to deliver cryogenic cooling power to the main "clients" in the Tokamak Building—the ITER magnets (45 percent), the thermal shield (40 percent), and the...

Of coils, large and small

Tritium breeding systems enter preliminary design phase

In ITER, six technological solutions for tritium breeding—in the form of test blanket modules plus associated ancillary systems—will be operated and tested for the first time. Their experimental validation will represent...
