ITER - the way to new energy
WEBSep 9, 2024 · ITER is the world’s largest fusion experiment. Thirty-five nations are collaborating to build and operate the ITER Tokamak, the most complex machine ever designed, to prove that fusion is a viable source of large-scale, safe, and environmentally friendly energy for the planet.
On the road to ITER: milestones
WEBMore than 200 tokamaks around the world have paved the way to the ITER experiment. Conceived as the last experimental step to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy, ITER will be the world's largest tokamak, with ten times the plasma volume of the largest tokamak operating today. A consortium of nations—China, the 27 states of the European Union ...
The Organization - ITER
WEBThe ITER Organization was formally established on 24 October 2007, following ratification of the ITER Agreement by all Members. The ITER Agreement brings together the People's Republic of China, the European Atomic Energy Community (via EURATOM), the Republic of India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States of America in an international collaboration to ...
Machine - ITER
WEBThe 23,000-tonne ITER Tokamak is a complex assembly of one million components and an estimated ten million individual parts. Surrounding the central reaction chamber are all of the systems that will work in concert to create a 150-million-degree plasma: the powerful magnet systems, as well as heating and current drive, diagnostic, cryogenic, cooling, fuelling, vacuum and power supply systems.
29th ITER Council: Components arriving, assembly progressing
WEBNov 22, 2021 · The two-day, online meeting was the 29th session since the first ITER Council convened in November 2007, just one month after the formal establishment of the ITER Organization. Under the chairmanship of LUO Delong, from China, representatives of the ITER Members reviewed the progress of construction, manufacturing, and assembly, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on project execution.
