The balance of power

It comes as no surprise that the French railway operator SNCF is the largest consumer of electricity in the country—it takes a lot of megawatts to power 500 superfast TGVs* and countless regular electric trains...

Dummy winding trials

"Dummy" winding takes shape

As orange lights flash and machines softly hum, layer one of a "dummy" pancake winding (the building block of a poloidal field coil) is taking shape on the winding table of the Poloidal Field Coils facility.

As big (and heavy) as a whale

A passage to India

108 days, 10,200 kilometres, 16 countries, and only two flat tires. These are the remarkable statistics of a no-less-remarkable journey: a father and son who travelled from their Dutch hometown of Bergen to Gandhinagar...

Quench tanks on the move

Large components on their way

Two shipments of "oversize" components for ITER's cryoplant are currently making their way to ITER. The first consists of two 35-metre long quench tanks procured by Europe. The tanks were first transported along the Elbe...

10 years ago: the agreement that established ITER

ITER was born twice—once in 1985 in Geneva as an aspiration, and a second time ten years ago today (21 November 2006) by way of an international agreement signed in Paris to establish "the ITER International Fusion...

Ian Chapman: "JET will be operating with tritium again in 2018"

On 3 August 2016, Ian Chapman was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), with responsibility for the UK's magnetic confinement fusion research program at the Culham Science Centre...

Roll up, roll up for the magical 3D tour!

China signs final Procurement Arrangement

An important milestone was celebrated on the margins of the ITER Council last week when the head of ITER China, Luo Delong, and ITER Director-General Bernard Bigot signed the Blanket First Wall Procurement Arrangement on...

ITER Council endorses updated project schedule

During the Nineteenth Meeting of the ITER Council held last week from 16 to 17 November, representatives of the ITER Members reviewed the complete updated project schedule as proposed by the ITER Organization. The...

Chinese prototype "fingers" pass high heat flux tests

Beryllium-tiled "fingers" from China—part of a semi-prototype of the ITER blanket first wall—have performed successfully under high heat flux testing at a dedicated facility in Russia. The test results confirm that the...

Letting off the heat

At the northeast end of the ITER site, in a zone not far from the Tokamak Complex and Assembly Hall, workers are busy installing rebar reinforcement, pouring concrete and erecting walls and columns.

Twin tanks arrive at Fos

Quench tanks unloaded at Fos harbour

Thirty-five metres long, five metres wide and five metres high, the two quench tanks that were unloaded last week at Fos harbour range among the largest components ever delivered to ITER.

ITER team visits Iran

On 4-7 November, Director-General Bigot led a small ITER team to the Islamic Republic of Iran. The visit, conducted in response to Iran's formal request to be considered for participation in the ITER Project as an...

Cracks in welds? Helium will tell

In a 6,000-square-metre workshop on site, the Indian Domestic Agency is assembling the cryostat—a huge vacuum containment vessel that is also the single largest component of the ITER machine.

Back to the underground cathedral

In the last issue of Newsline we shared a picture of the Tokamak's subterranean world, showing the cavernous space that exists between the lower basement slab (B2) and the next-level slab (B1) of the Tokamak Complex....

Common port plug contract signed

Indian and French companies will manufacture port plug structures

A key ally to the research program at ITER is the high-performance monitoring of the plasma and the first-wall of the blanket during operation. A large number of diagnostics are planned to measure plasma temperature...

Committee reviews progress on test blanket modules

On 19-21 October, the Committee charged with the governance of the Test Blanket Module (TBM) program convened at ITER Headquarters for its 16th meeting. The TBM Program Committee meets twice a year to review the various...
