The tokamak is an experimental machine designed to harness the energy of fusion; inside a tokamak, a fusion plasma is created and confined by strong magnetic fields. The energy produced through the …

Reaching for the stars The goal of ITER is to achieve fusion power production at power plant scale, breaking new ground in fusion science and demonstrating fusion reactor technology.

In ITER, fusion will be achieved in a tokamak device that uses magnetic fields to contain and control the hot plasma. The plasma particles are heated—that is, sped up—by different types of auxiliary …

The ASDEX Tokamak achieved high confinement mode for the first time in 1982. A new generation of larger tokamaks—JET (Europe), JT-60 (Japan), TFTR (US), T-15 (Soviet Union)—were built to study …

Thirty-nine buildings and technical areas house the ITER tokamak and its plant systems. The heart of the facility—the Tokamak Building—is a seven-storey structure in reinforced concrete that sits 13 …

Tokamak reactor? If you haven't heard about ITER, you will soon. Here you can find interesting facts and figures about the project.

International tokamak research Since the 1950s, more than 200 tokamak devices have contributed to the steady progression of research in magnetic confinement fusion.

The JET tokamak has achieved a first-ever sustained, high-confinement plasma using the same wall materials and fuel mix that ITER will use. The results aligned with prediction ... and this predictability …

Decades of fusion research and generations of fusion devices have contributed to the design of ITER. And ITER, in its turn, is contributing to the design of the next generation of machines—DEMO—that …

ITER est un projet international de recherche sur la fusion nucléaire visant à démontrer la faisabilité de l'énergie de fusion comme source d'énergie durable et sans carbone.
