Each staff member working at ITER is required to maintain a strong commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of the ITER safety program, project values and the ITER Code of Conduct.This ambitious scientific project is held …

The International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) provides a framework for internationally coordinated fusion research activities. The ITPA continues the tokamak physics R&D activities that have been conducted on an international level for many years.

At a press conference on 3 July attended by approximately 200 journalists and key ITER stakeholders, ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi answered questions about the new project plan—the "baseline"—that is under evaluation by the ITER Organization's governing body. The top-line messages were: ITER's programmatic goals have not changed; and the first …

As signatories to the ITER Agreement, the ITER collaboration Members China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States will share in the cost of project construction, operation and decommissioning, and also share in the experimental results and any intellectual property generated by the project. Twenty years of collaborative research …

In the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction, high energy neutrons are released along with helium atoms. These electrically neutral particles escape the magnetic fields that confine the plasma and are absorbed by the blanket covering the surrounding walls.If the blanket modules contain lithium, a reaction occurs: the incoming neutron is absorbed by the lithium atom, which …

ITER technical reports aim to make results of scientific and technical activities carried out under the ITER Agreement available to the public. Typically, they are versions of internal reports that have been deemed of interest for the wider scientific and technical community, but that have not been submitted for conventional publication in scientific journals, books, etc. Documents may …

To determine the precise date of ITER's First Plasma, hundreds of engineers, technicians and schedulers worked for nearly 18 months to reconcile the latest information from manufacturers in over twenty countries with construction progress on site. A number of variables were also taken into account—such as how much time could be gained by hiring more specialists or increasing …

The temperatures inside the ITER Tokamak must reach 150 million °C, or ten times the temperature at the core of the Sun. The hot plasma must then be sustained at these extreme temperatures in a controlled way. Plasma heating begins inside the machine with the magnetic fields that are used to control the plasma. Because the plasma is an electrical conductor, the …
