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...

ITER goes to the movies

It's rare to see all 500 seats of the amphitheatre at ITER Headquarters occupied. But who wouldn't drop pen and paper to run to the cinema when ITER is featured on the big screen?

More than just robotics

Once again Agence Iter France, the ITER Organization and educational representatives from the Aix-Marseille and Nice regions successfully organized the ITER Robot competition. Much more than just a robotic contest, this...

The series is complete

It all began under Emperor Napoleon III, at the peak of the European industrial revolution when coal, steel and the spirit of conquest ruled the world. In La Seyne-sur-Mer, some 65 kilometres east of Marseille, France, a...

Spot the differences

In June 1997, the ITER EDA Newsletter—the IAEA publication that chronicled the progress of the ITER Project from 1988 to 1998—published a drawing of the planned layout for the ITER site.

SOFE opens, 1st time outside US

The 27th IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering (SOFE 2017) opened on 5 June in Shanghai, China.

The physics behind the transition to H-mode

H‐mode—or the sudden improvement of plasma confinement in the magnetic field of tokamaks by approximately a factor of two—is the high confinement regime that all modern tokamaks, including ITER, rely on.

In search of the green plasma

Sébastien König's core competence is in planning and scheduling; his passion is in understanding the workings of the Universe. In his previous life, before joining ITER in 2013, he worked for large projects all over the...

An outing into the future

Open Doors days occur with scientific regularity at ITER (spring and autumn) and yet—due to the rapid evolution of work on site—each event offers something new. Saturday 20 May was no different: the 800 registered...

Fusion "grandfather" tells family story

Grandfathers like to tell stories. And Robert Aymar, the "grandfather" of the French fusion community, is no exception. "Being so old," he quipped at last week's celebration of WEST's First Plasma, "I can express myself...

An AC/DC adapter ... ITER size

Like flashlight and smartphones, the ITER magnets—all 10,000 tonnes of them—will run on direct current (DC). And like flashlight and smartphones they will need an "adapter" to convert the alternating current (AC) coming...

European industrial milestone celebrated in La Spezia

European contractors and invited guests celebrated an important project milestone last week at the European winding facility in La Spezia, Italy. The first 110-tonne winding pack produced in Europe for the toroidal field...

ITER's largest tool can ship

What weighs more than 700 small cars, stands taller than the Louvre Pyramid, and can embrace the cross-section of the ITER Headquarters building in its wingspan? The largest tool in ITER's assembly arsenal. This giant...

Giant, by any measure (video)

For a spectacular flyover of ITER's largest assembly tool, scroll down ...

Monaco 5.0

They are young, joyful and extremely motivated. The Monaco Fellow Cuvée 2017 has just arrived and is getting settled. Like their 20 illustrious predecessors these five postdoctoral researchers will be staying at ITER for...

Final touch for the pre-production cryopump

Standing 3.4 metres tall and weighing eight tonnes, the pre-production ITER cryopump cuts a striking figure as it waits for final assembly in the laboratory of the German company Research Instruments. But it is not its...

Saving time on the way to ITER operation

The huge database that the European tokamak JET has accumulated, both during the deuterium-tritium campaigns of the 1990s and in more recent operations with an ITER-like beryllium inner wall and tungsten divertor, is of...

And now, it's for keeps!

At first view, nothing distinguishes the current operations in the Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility from those that got underway last November : steel-jacketed conductor is being unspooled, straightened, cleaned...

Countdown

Make room for a massive component

When assembling parts for a component as massive as the ITER cryostat, space soon becomes scarce—even in a 110-metre long, 50 metre-wide workshop.
