The ITER Scientific Data and Computing Centre is not just any data centre. It is a purpose-built digital engine room for ITER—one that combines cutting-edge computation with industrial-scale storage ...

The cryogenics group at ITER has achieved a significant milestone with the successful integration of the five massive auxiliary cold boxes in the Tokamak Building. Each one, weighing approximately 28 ...

This year’s school focused on the integrated modelling of magnetic fusion plasmas. Reliable predictions of ITER plasmas, spanning the entire cross-section from the plasma core, the scrape-off layer, ...

When the ITER Organization made the key decision in 2023 to change the armour tiles of the plasma chamber from beryllium to tungsten, it meant adding a new wall conditioning system to buffer the ...

When the big crate was opened, revealing its contents, the feeling this morning on the third floor of the Radiofrequency Building was one of awe and pride.

Late in 2003, ITER Members China, the European Union, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States (India would join in December 2005) began seriously considering the question of where to site the ...

The ITER tokamak will provide an unprecedented experimental platform for fusion physicists. The interior volume of the vacuum vessel will be about 1400 m³, enabling a plasma volume of around 840 m³ at ...

The power supply system is a vital part of electron cyclotron heating and current drive—the system at ITER designed for plasma initiation, heating, and control. Tests are underway now to prepare the ...

In describing the R&D program of the ITER device, the new baseline ITER Research Plan also identifies the top issues requiring consolidation or refinement. The R&D required to address these issues ...

In January 2025, the Coordinating Committee of the International Tokamak Physics Activity made the formal decision to open its coordinated research activities to privately funded initiatives.

At its 32nd meeting in May, the ITER Council Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) reviewed the fully detailed version of the ITER Research Plan as well as associated blueprints for magnet ...

Only three more to go! With the arrival of sector #4 on 9 May 2025, there are now six ITER vacuum vessel sectors on site. Nine are needed to form the complete plasma chamber.
