With the progression of ITER conductor production all over the world, the first lengths of completed conductors are being delivered to coil manufacturers. Although the lengths may extend up to nearly ...

The Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas (CRPP) in Switzerland has studied fundamental plasma physics since 1961, with a particular focus on magnetic fusion since 1979. Part of the Ecole ...

The use of 3D technology for assessing design maturity and performing assembly simulations is key to large construction projects such as ITER. After two years of relying on technology installed at the ...

Manufacturing has begun for the 70 large D-shaped radial plates that will hold the conductor in place within ITER's toroidal field coils. Following the prototype and machining trial stages, ...

The European Domestic Agency for ITER, Fusion for Energy, started the new year with the completion of an important milestone linked to Europe's contribution to ITER: the successful manufacturing of ...

When Jamy explains, children in France listen ... fascinated. For the past 20 years his program C'est pas sorcier ("It's not rocket science") on French public television Channel 3 has opened their ...

Of the nine sets of thermal shields that wrap the nine vacuum vessel sectors like a tight-fitting jacket, seven were sent for repairsto INOX-CVA in India. Two have returned, fully repaired, to ITER.

The contract for developing an important diagnostic method for ITER went to the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching, Germany. The European Domestic Agency (Fusion for Energy, F4E) ...

The 33rd Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT 2024) opened on Monday 23 September in Gaelic. Dublin City University Vice President for Academic Affairs, Lisa Looney, wished conference participants a ...

The ITER superconducting magnets, which operate at the ultra-cold temperature of 4 K (minus 269 °C), must be protected from any type of heat transfer. Several components contribute to the magnetic ...

It was a photo finish last Thursday 19 September. After 900 km and 10,000 metres of climbing, the Ride 4 Fusion team that had started in Padua ten days earlier crossed the entrance to the ITER site.

What a warm welcome for Laurent Schmieder for his first week at ITER: heavy snowfall has paralyzed life in southern France, there is no public transport, schools and kindergartens are closed—and so is ...
