In a quiet corner of southern France, an international mega-project is forging ahead with its mission to demonstrate ...

Earlier this morning, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Organization announced what has long been known: The largest tokamak in the world will be delayed further ...

It will function as the electromagnetic heart of ITER's donut-shaped reactor, called a Tokamak. Step 1. A few grams of hydrogen fuel—deuterium and tritium gas—are injected into ITER's gigantic ...

It took 20 years, but the design and delivery of the International Fusion Energy Project’s massive toroidal magnets is complete. The 19 coils are now in Southern France, according to an ITER ...

Competition among the U.S., China, and Europe in fusion technology development is crucial for accelerating progress, ensuring ...

ITER engineers expect their tokamak reactor to generate 500 megawatts (Mw) of fusion power using just 50 Mw of input heating–compared with a nuclear fission reactor’s roughly 1,000 Mw of power ...

From assembly to first plasma in just two years is remarkably fast, but Song Yuntao—the project’s chief engineer from the ...

The company is currently trying to build an ITER equivalent: a tokamak that can achieve fusion but isn't large enough and lacks some critical hardware needed to generate electricity from that ...

When combined with the five other completed modules, the Central Solenoid will form the center of the ITER tokamak and the pulsed magnet system. ITER is an international collaboration of more than ...
