Registration for the 16th ITER International School in Bengaluru, India, on "Tokamaks as Fusion Reactors" has been extended through 3 September 2026. CLICK HERE FOR ALL INFORMATION.
One after another, governments around the world are unveiling their strategies for national programs in fusion energy. Common themes consistently emerge: significant technical challenges remain on the ...
ITER will be equipped with a cooling water system to manage the heat generated during operation of the tokamak. The internal surfaces of the vacuum vessel (first wall blanket and divertor) must be ...

Twenty years—that is how long it took to design, manufacture and deliver the cold valve boxes that regulate the flow of cryogens to the tokamak's vacuum system. Last week, as the first of the eight ...
What is the role of the blanket in a fusion device? ITER will maintain temperatures of about 150 million degrees in the plasma and about 4 Kelvin (-269 °C) in the superconducting coils used to provide ...
Two and a half years into its machine assembly phase, ITER is facing challenges common to every industrial venture involving first-of-a-kind components. "There is no scandal here," says ITER ...
An integral part of the Swiss Plasma Center at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne), TCV has a staff of about 200 researchers and students. The mission of the TCV program, ...
Presented to the ITER Council in June 2024, the proposed Baseline 2024 prioritizes the start of substantial research operation as rapidly as possible. With a divertor, blanket shield blocks and other ...
In the West, scientists were founding their expectations on machines such as the Perhapstron in the US or Zeta (Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly) in the United-Kingdom—machines that used strong ...
In a tokamak device, the divertor is the component at the base of the plasma chamber that extracts heat and ash produced by the fusion reaction, minimizes plasma contamination, and protects the ...
Busbars are steel-jacketed aluminium bars actively cooled by a constant flow of pressurized water. There will be close to five kilometres of DC busbars—amounting to 500 tonnes of material—in the ITER ...
