ITER and Kazakhstan renew cooperation

10 Jun 2025

On 4 June, the Cooperation Agreement between the ITER Organization and the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC RK), originally signed in 2017, was officially extended another five years. The agreement aims to strengthen collaboration "in areas of mutual interest, based on reciprocity and mutual benefit." The updated scope includes the exchange of scientists and experts, as well as scientific and technical cooperation related to the ITER project.

This agreement strengthens the ITER Organization’s ties with a well-established fusion research community. The NNC RK has collaborated with some countries already working for ITER—in Europe, Japan, and Russia—and offers access to valuable research infrastructure. Notably, the KTM tokamak, capable of generating plasma fluxes up to 20 MW/m², provides a unique platform for testing materials and diagnostics under ITER-relevant conditions.

Renewing this agreement is part of ITER Organization efforts to build strategic partnerships that support the success of the project.
