ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin) [2] [3] [4] is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun. It is being built next to the Cadarache facility in southern France.
When it becomes operational, ITER is hoped to be the first large-scale fusion reactor to produce more energy than is used to initiate its fusion reactions. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] Other nuclear installations at Cadarache include the Tore Supra tokamak – a predecessor to ITER – and the Jules Horowitz Reactor , a 100-megawatt research reactor which is ...
Beginning in March 2013 [9] Tore Supra underwent an extensive refit, including new poloidal coils to achieve diverted operation, a new cooling system, and all-metal cladding, mainly for experiments on tungsten divertor technology for ITER. [10] The reactor was renamed WEST, for "Tungsten (chemical symbol "W") Environment in Steady-state Tokamak ...
Launched in 2006 and based in southern France, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) had planned to test its first super-heated plasma by 2020 and achieve full fusion by 2023 ...
ITER, an international experiment involving 35 countries, seeks to prove the viability of fusion energy by building a fusion device at St-Paul-lès-Duranc. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE: J ...
The 14-year-old tokamak experiment is a building block for ITER, which will one day be the largest fusion reactor in the world. This Fusion Reactor Hit Temps 7 Times Hotter Than the Sun for 30 Seconds
DEMO, or a demonstration power plant (often stylized as DEMOnstration power plant), refers to a proposed class of nuclear fusion experimental reactors that are intended to demonstrate the net production of electric power from nuclear fusion. Most of the ITER partners have plans for their own DEMO-class reactors. With the possible exception of ...
Fusion for Energy (F4E) is a joint undertaking of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) that is responsible for the EU's contribution to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world's largest scientific partnership aiming to demonstrate fusion as a viable and sustainable source of energy.
