As delegates from three continents convened on ITER Headquarters for the 36th Meeting of the ITER Council, construction teams were exiting the tokamak assembly theatre after a long night of work. The ...

Experimental steps towards Q ≥ 10 in the new baseline ITER Research Plan using deuterium-deuterium (DD) and deuterium-tritium (DT) plasmas in order to minimize neutron fluence in DT-1. Full arrows ...

Wendelstein 7-X—the leading fusion device of the stellarator type—achieved several new performance milestones during its latest run of experiments. Among them is a world record for triple product, the ...

Computational tools like artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), and digital twins are already showing their immense potential in reshaping how scientists and engineers ...

US ITER and supplier General Atomics have finished testing the sixth and final module required for the 18-metre-tall superconducting magnet at the heart of ITER. Only a seventh module, to be used as a ...

The recent test campaign on MITICA successfully demonstrated the system’s ability to maintain high voltage in a vacuum environment, reaching the expected voltage-holding capabilities. Due to the ...

As development of the 2024 ITER baseline was underway, it became apparent that the revised schedule for machine assembly would allow for time to conduct valuable cold testing on some of the tokamak’s ...

Whereas the 1970 Osaka Expo—Asia's first ever—showcased Japan's rapid economic growth, the 2025 edition aims to unite the international community around the forward-looking theme "Designing Future ...

The transfer of sector module #7 to the tokamak assembly pit, on Thursday 10 April, was many things in one. Hailed as a “record performance” by ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi, considered a ...

In the framework of a deepened collaboration between the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP), China and the ITER Organization, the HL-3 tokamak has become a satellite device of ITER. A campaign ...

Using an off-the-shelf augmented reality application called Gamma AR, engineers and technicians at ITER can now see if an installed component fits in the way it was planned during design—and much more ...

The United States Domestic Agency, US ITER, has completed delivery of all components for the support structure of the central solenoid—the 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet that is the “heart” of ...
