  2. ITER - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

    ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin) [2] [3] [4] is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun. It is being built next to the Cadarache facility in southern France.

  3. Cadarache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadarache

    In 2005, Cadarache was selected to be the site of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world's largest nuclear fusion reactor. Construction of the ITER complex began in 2007, and it is projected to begin plasma-generating operations in the 2020s. [1] [2] Cadarache also plays host to a number of research reactors ...

  4. Fusion ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_ignition

    Based on the tokamak reactor design, the ITER is intended to sustain fusion mostly by internal fusion heating and yield in its plasma a ten-fold return on power. [12] Construction is expected to be completed in 2025. [citation needed] Experts believe that achieving fusion ignition is the first step towards electricity generation using fusion ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WEST_(formerly_Tore_Supra)

    Beginning in March 2013 [10] Tore Supra underwent an extensive refit, including new poloidal coils to achieve diverted operation, a new cooling system, and all-metal cladding, mainly for experiments on tungsten divertor technology for ITER. [11] The reactor was renamed WEST, for "Tungsten (chemical symbol "W") Environment in Steady-state ...
