Handling a giant component (with video)

Sector #8 has been transferred temporarily to the tokamak pit. The operation, which took place on 4 March, went smoothly.

Experts meet to elaborate details of new blueprint

In accordance with the overall baseline approach established by the ITER Council, the Research Plan must be refined and checked for consistency with the foreseen configuration of the tokamak and its ancillary systems. A...

Making a pivot look easy

The component is heavier than a fully loaded Boeing 747 airliner, but you wouldn't know it watching the pivot operation that took place last week in the ITER Assembly Hall, where the specialized tooling makes the...

Have you ever wondered what it’s like inside an operating tokamak?

If you know a little about tokamaks, you can probably picture their gleaming metal interiors and even imagine a cloud of spinning plasma. But what is it really like inside an operating tokamak? What might be heard, seen...

India’s contributions to ITER

The visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week brought attention to the vital contributions that India is making to the ITER project, both in terms of industrial expertise and skilled personnel.

Macron and Modi tour ITER together

History was made on 12 February 2025 at ITER, as the heads of state of France and India were welcomed on site for a joint visit celebrating scientific and technological collaboration.

Sector #8 to be lifted and turned

Since December 2023, this 440-tonne vacuum vessel sector had been under another roof as repairs for dimensional non-conformities were planned and then executed on one side of the component. Last week, it was moved back...

Registration opens for 2nd ITER Private Sector Fusion Workshop

ITER has opened formal registration for the second Private Sector Fusion Workshop, to be hosted at the ITER site in Provence on 22-23 April 2025. As with the first workshop in May 2024, this forum is designed to serve...

Achievements at EAST and WEST

In the past weeks, two superconducting tokamaks—EAST in China and WEST in France—have announced new performance records. What relevance to ITER?

Upgrading JT-60SA to prepare for 2026 experiments

Since achieving first plasma in October 2023, the world’s largest operating tokamak—the joint international fusion experiment JT-60SA—has been undergoing a series of enhancements that are helping to ready the device for...

Scientist Beatrix Schunke

A key member of the neutral beam injection team, Beatrix Schunke had worked since 2006 at ITER.

ITER Scientific Data Centre comes online

After nearly six years of design and construction, the ITER Scientific Data and Computing Centre was completed in December 2024 and will become fully operational in 2025.

Ready for anything

Shift operation managers at ITER work around the clock to ensure that operational areas of the plant are functioning normally and to intervene in the case of off-normal events. Last year, due to an increase in plant...

Star awards: everyday heroes

On Thursday 23 January Director-General Barabaschi presented ITER Star Awards to 79 individuals.

A second, more versatile upending tool on its way

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...

Ready to enter commissioning

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...

Seeing ITER at millimetre-level resolution

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...

Helping to develop a state-of-the-art neutron diagnostic

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

And what did you do during the holidays?

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

First CODAC command issued

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...
