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.
[13] The term "tokamak" was coined in 1957 [14] by Igor Golovin, a student of academician Igor Kurchatov.It originally sounded like "tokamag" ("токамаг") — an acronym of the words "toroidal chamber magnetic" ("тороидальная камера магнитная"), but Natan Yavlinsky, the author of the first toroidal system, proposed replacing "-mag" with "-mak" for euphony.

Russian intelligence no longer recruits people on the basis of Communist ideals, which was the "first pillar" of KGB recruitment, said analyst Konstantin Preobrazhenskiy. "The second pillar of recruitment is love for Russia. In the West, only Russian immigrants have feelings of filial obedience toward Russia.
ITER, meaning "the way" in Latin, is an international experiment aiming to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion as an energy source. [6] The machine is being constructed in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance in the South of France and is funded by seven parties: China , the European Union , India , Japan , Russia , South Korea ...
In the context of the Italy-Russia summit meeting held in Milan on 26 April 2010 [5] the agreement to proceed with the proposed joint Ignitor programme has been signed. The participants, from the Russian side, have included the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin , the Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin , the Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko , and the ...
The NBI designed for ITER is a substantial challenge [1] (D 0, 1 MeV, 40 A) and a prototype is being constructed to optimize its performance in view of the ITER future operations. [2] Other ways to heat plasma for nuclear fusion include RF heating, electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH), and lower ...
Reiter regiments (Russian: рейтары, romanized: reytary) also operated in Russian armies between the 1630s and the early 18th century (see Regiments of the new order). During the late 17th century, Reiters gradually merged into generic cavalry regiments and were no longer seen as a distinct class of horsemen.
The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, commonly known as the Special Operations Forces (SOF; Russian: Силы специальных операций; ССО, romanized: Sily spetsial’nykh operatsiy; SSO), [19] [20] are strategic-level special forces under the Special Operations Forces Command (Russian: командование сил ...
