The 14th ITER International School (IIS) will be held from 30 June to 4 July in Aix-en-Provence, France, hosted by Aix-Marseille University.

Pressure and levels? Nominal. Valves? Open. Protections? In place. As all “permissives” are go , the process can now be activated. A click of a mouse and—in a building more than half a kilometre away—a powerful pump...

Many of the components that make up the ITER device require sub-millimetre accuracy for assembly—a feat accomplished with specialized metrology equipment that is calibrated at regular intervals.

On 19 December 2024, one year almost to the day after it was delivered , a fourth module was installed on top of the existing central solenoid stack. Standing on its bespoke platform, the massive, tower-like structure...

Working on site during the annual office closure period is certainly not everyone's idea of an end-of-year holiday...

An international consortium is working together to deliver a high-performance diagnostic system essential for ITER’s mission—the high-resolution neutron spectrometer.

Since last year, anyone at ITER can have access to an integrated 3D model that takes them from the highest-level view of the entire site, all the way down to a millimetre-level view of any component of the machine or...

Inside the ITER vacuum vessel, where the fusion reactions will occur, the ultra-high vacuum is comparable to that on the Moon. Conventional mechanical pumping alone is not sufficient to create such an extreme environment...

Two days ago, an extra upending tool—which ITER recently ordered from Korea to speed up operations related to vacuum vessel sector repair and sector module assembly—began its month-long journey to ITER. The more than 100...
