Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for sustainable, non-carbon-emitting energy. Harnessing fusion's power is the goal of …

In southern France, 33 nations* are collaborating to build the world's largest tokamak, a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and …

The High Representative for the implementation of ITER in France coordinates the realization of the ITER Project and ensures the representation of France to the ITER Members, the …

The ITER Project is currently under construction on a 180-hectare site in southern France. Thirty-nine buildings and technical areas house the ITER Tokamak and its plant systems. The heart …

The tokamak is an experimental machine designed to harness the energy of fusion; inside a tokamak, a fusion plasma is created and confined by strong magnetic fields. The energy …

ITER has been designed for high fusion power gain. For 50 MW of power injected into the Tokamak via the systems that heat the plasma it will produce 500 MW of fusion power for …

The latest on ITER project progress? Here you can find an interactive timeline of all the key milestones. ... ITER in France; History; FAQs; Legal Resources; Visiting ITER; Fusion Energy …

Fusion reactors, unlike fission reactors, produce no high activity/long-lived radioactive waste. The "burnt" fuel in a fusion reactor is helium, an inert gas. Activation produced in the material …

Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a project to prove that fusion power can be produced on a commercial scale and is sustainable, is now 50 percent built to initial operation. …

In 1997, JET produced 16 MW of fusion power from a total input heating power of 24 MW (Q=0.67). ITER is designed to yield in its plasma a ten-fold return on power (Q=10), or 500 …
