First set of gyrotrons soon to be installed

Like soup in a microwave oven, the ITER plasma will be heated¹ by electromagnetic waves at frequencies that increase the velocity of the particles, and hence the plasma’s temperature. But contrary to a microwave oven...

Two sectors now in assembly

A vacuum vessel sector standing in an assembly tool is a strikingly beautiful sight. Two sectors being assembled in parallel, each in a dedicated tool, is a comforting one—the unmistakable sign that the momentum is back.

4th Korean vacuum vessel sector delivered

In November 2008, Kijung Jung, head of the Korean Domestic Agency, signed the Procurement Arrangement for two vacuum vessel sectors for the ITER tokamak. Later, it would take on another two sectors under direct ITER...

In Rome meeting, fusion is a priority

At the inaugural ministerial meeting of the World Fusion Energy Group (WFEG) on 6 November in Rome, participants agreed that bringing fusion to commercialization will require cross-border and cross-sector collaboration.

Industry wall honours the companies building ITER

The ITER tokamak, with its millions of components and unprecedented technical specifications, is the physical realization of hundreds of engineering breakthroughs across multiple disciplines. While ITER’s plasma...

Radiofrequency Building ready for first gyrotrons

The new baseline, which demands more powerful radiowave plasma heating, has modified plans for the Radiofrequency Building. Initially designed to host both the electron and the ion cyclotron heating systems (ECRH and...

Filmmaker Enrico Masi probes the human element of ITER

The ITER project has been the subject of multiple documentary films. Most have been technically focused overviews of the project made for TV. The 2017 documentary Let There Be Light drew its tension and storyline from...
