A landmark moment at #ITER! The final module of the central solenoid was added to complete the stack. This powerful magnet, the beating heart of ITER, will induce the plasma current needed to initiate & help control the fusion reaction inside the tokamak.

One of the largest and most expensive science projects in history is being built in France. See photos of the experiment, whose goal is to prove the feasibility of nuclear fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy. Via @TheAtlPhoto: theatlantic.com/photography/…

Small but vital: ITER’s correction coils fine-tune magnetic fields to help keep fusion plasma stable.
With the full set now delivered, ITER marks another key step in assembling one of the world’s most complex fusion machines.

Top Welding, Top ITER is underway!
Welders from 7 companies and 4 countries are competing in TIG welding challenges, showcasing the skill and precision essential to ITER tokamak assembly.
Winners announced 17 June.

Russian gyrotrons are now in place at ITER.
The first three units have been installed as part of the electron cyclotron heating system, supplied through a global effort involving Europe, India, Japan, Russia, and the United States. #ITER #FusionEnergy #BigScience

In the air!
The lift of sector module #4 is underway. When it lands tomorrow, it will become the fifth of nine sectors to be successfully transferred into the #tokamak pit—meaning more than half of #ITER’s plasma chamber will be in place.
Stay tuned!

ITER marked the start of operations at its MCTF — building knowledge, infrastructure, and operating experience for the wider fusion ecosystem. After the first coil cooldown to 4 K, the facility will support magnet testing ahead of installation. bit.ly/ITER_MCTF_Press-relea…

A house on wheels? No, it's the eighth of nine #vacuumvessel sectors, this one manufactured by Europe, on its way to #ITER. It will arrive in the wee hours of Thursday, 7 May.

At ITER, global leaders gather for the Public-Private Fusion Workshop.
DG Pietro Barabaschi: “You need both cooperation & competition.”
Fusion is moving from possibility to necessity.

Big win for fusion: the French Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection cleared the ITER Organization vacuum vessel from pressure rules—recognizing EM forces, not pressure, drive its design.
Step toward fit-for-purpose fusion regulation
