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 ...

ScopeThe scope of the Integrated Operation Scenarios Topical Group is to contribute to establishing operational scenarios in burning plasma experiments, particularly candidate scenarios in ITER. These ...

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 ...

The Private Sector Fusion Engagement (PSFE) project was launched in November 2024 to foster collaboration between the ITER project and private sector fusion initiatives worldwide. It emphasizes the ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are many species of impurities, but one of the most deleterious is oxygen, which originates from the inevitable oxidation process in the materials inside the vacuum vessel. Oxygen release into ...

WEST is more than an upgrade from the quarter-century-old Tore Supra tokamak: it is a reinvented machine that now serves as a test bench and risk-limiter for ITER. Having replaced its previous ...

The NIF approach to fusion differs sharply from that of ITER. Whereas tokamaks use "magnetic confinement"—injecting a few grams of deuterium and tritium (DT) into a massive toroidal vacuum chamber—NIF ...

JT-60SA is one of the projects of the Broader Approach agreement—a scientific collaboration between the European Union and Japan to accelerate the development of fusion energy through advanced ...
