Aerial view of the ITER site in 2018 ITER construction status in 2018 Aerial view of the ITER site in 2020. As of April 2022 ITER is near 85% complete toward first plasma. [91] First plasma was scheduled for late 2025, [92] [93] however delays were acknowledged in 2023 which would impact this target. In July 2024, ITER announced a new schedule ...
To deliver power to the fusion plasma in ITER, two heating neutral beam injectors will be installed. They are designed to provide the power of 17 MW each, through the 23 m beamlines, up to the four-meter diameter container: in order to deposit sufficient heating power in the plasma core instead of the plasma edges, the beam particle energy shall be about 1 MeV, thus increasing the neutral beam ...
The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) is a planned superconducting tokamak currently under construction in Frascati, Italy. [1] It is set to be operated by the Italian government-sponsored research and development agency, ENEA, and will serve as a testbed for the construction of a DEMOnstration Power Plant. [2]
China is a member of the ITER consortium, and EAST is a testbed for ITER technologies. [2] EAST was designed to test: Superconducting Niobium-titanium poloidal field magnets, making it the first tokamak with superconducting toroidal and poloidal magnets; Non-inductive current drive; Pulses of up to 102 seconds with 0.5 MA plasma current
The United States drops its own ITER-scale tokamak project, FIRE, recognising an inability to match EU progress. [37] 2005. In August, the first proton-boron fusion via inertial confinement is reported. [38] Following final negotiations between the EU and Japan, ITER chooses Cadarache over Rokkasho for the site of the reactor. In concession ...
The current leading designs are the tokamak and inertial confinement (ICF) by laser. Both designs are under research at very large scales, most notably the ITER tokamak in France and the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser in the United States. Researchers are also studying other designs that may offer less expensive approaches.
The initial increase in current is not seen in the VDE, and the thermal and current quench occurs at the same time. [101] In both cases, the thermal and electrical load of the plasma is rapidly deposited on the reactor vessel, which has to be able to handle these loads. ITER is designed to handle 2600 of these events over its lifetime. [102]
