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.
It is the leading plasma physics organization of India and houses the largest tokamak of India - SST1. IPR plays a major scientific and technical role in Indian partnership in the international fusion energy initiative ITER. It is part of the IndiGO consortium for research on gravitational waves. [1]
ITER, meaning "the way" in Latin, is an international experiment aiming to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion as an energy source. [6] The machine is being constructed in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance in the South of France and is funded by seven parties: China , the European Union , India , Japan , Russia , South Korea ...
10-beam NIR and frequency-tripled 351 nm UV laser; fusion yield of 10 13 neutrons; attempted ignition, but failed due to fluid instability of targets; led to construction of NIF: 1.3 PW: 120 kJ: 30 J: Livermore: LLNL: ISKRA-5: Operational-1989: 12-beam iodine gas laser, fusion yield 10 10 to 10 11 neutrons [96] 100 TW: 30 kJ: 0.3 J: Sarov: RFNC ...
[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 ...
The ITER machine is extraordinarily complex, designed to comprise more than 1 million components. This complexity is compounded further by the intricate funding and in-kind contribution of those components by the seven ITER Members – China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia, the United States, and the European Union – under the 2006 ITER Agreement.
On 17 August 2005, PM Sayeed, then India's power minister informed the Rajya Sabha about India's claim to join ITER. [2] A team from ITER, France visited the SST-1 mission control housed in Institute for Plasma Research to see the advances Indian scientists had made. Finally on 6 December 2005, India was officially accepted as a full partner of ...
To deliver power to the fusion plasma in ITER, two heating neutral beam injectors will be installed. They are designed to provide the power of 17 MW each, through the 23 m beamlines, up to the four-meter diameter container: in order to deposit sufficient heating power in the plasma core instead of the plasma edges, the beam particle energy shall be about 1 MeV, thus increasing the neutral beam ...
