Two sector modules in two months! Following the insertion of the first of nine vacuum vessel sector modules in April, the assembly teams successfully transferred a second on 17-18 June. The complete ...

A cold test facility for ITER magnets is being set up in the former Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility, where the gantry crane that transported late-stage poloidal field coil assemblies can be ...

The power supply system delivers high-voltage, precisely controlled electrical power to gyrotrons—specialized high-frequency microwave generators operating at 170 GHz. These gyrotrons convert ...

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 ...

JT-60SA, a collaboration between Europe and Japan, began operating last year as the world's largest tokamak. This week, the JT-60SA integrated project team is holding a technical coordination meeting ...

As delegates from three continents convened on ITER Headquarters for the 36th Meeting of the ITER Council, construction teams were exiting the tokamak assembly theatre after a long night of work. The ...

Due to their proximity to the plasma, first mirrors will be exposed to charge exchange neutral fluxes and ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma radiation, which can lead to surface erosion and/or deposition of ...

To reduce these power fluxes, impurities are purposely injected in the divertor plasma to enhance losses by electromagnetic radiation (i.e., the emission of light). This spreads the plasma power ...

In 2024 alone, private fusion companies collectively spent USD 434 million on supply chain procurement, nearly double the previous year’s total, according to a recent report by the Fusion Industry ...

One-third of the way through EXPO 2025, the visitor numbers are strong. Some 7,818,321 people have marveled at the extravagant architecture of the 188 pavilions that showcase cultural identity, ...
