ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin [2] [3] ... concrete support finished. [113]
ITER: France: 2013: In progress: 2025 (proj.) Up to €65 billion (est.) International effort to build the world's largest nuclear fusion reactor. Large Hadron Collider: Switzerland, France: Constuction Started 1997, Operational Since September 10, 2008: Construction Ended 2007, Still in Operation ~ $4.75 Billion: 13 TeV CERN particle accelerator.
Based on the tokamak reactor design, the ITER is intended to sustain fusion mostly by internal fusion heating and yield in its plasma a ten-fold return on power. [12] Construction is expected to be completed in 2025. [citation needed] Experts believe that achieving fusion ignition is the first step towards electricity generation using fusion ...
The United States drops its own ITER-scale tokamak project, FIRE, recognising an inability to match EU progress. [37] 2005. In August, the first proton-boron fusion via inertial confinement is reported. [38] Following final negotiations between the EU and Japan, ITER chooses Cadarache over Rokkasho for the site of the reactor. In concession ...
The organisation is officially named European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy and was created under article 45 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community by the decision of the Council of the European Union on 27 March 2007 for a period of 35 years.
[8] [9] However, the ITER experience suggests that development of a multi-billion US dollar tokamak-based technology innovation cycle able to develop fusion power stations that can compete with non-fusion energy technologies is likely to encounter the "valley of death" problem in venture capital, i.e., insufficient investment to go beyond ...
For example, in 2009 to 2011, remote handling engineers stripped out the interior of JET to fit a new 4,500-tile inner wall to enable researchers to test materials for the forthcoming ITER tokamak. In addition, CCFE participates in the JET scientific programme alongside the other 28 EUROfusion research organisations throughout Europe.
China is a member of the ITER consortium, and EAST is a testbed for ITER technologies. [2] EAST was designed to test: Superconducting Niobium-titanium poloidal field magnets, making it the first tokamak with superconducting toroidal and poloidal magnets; Non-inductive current drive; Pulses of up to 102 seconds with 0.5 MA plasma current
