ITER - the way to new energy
Harnessing fusion's power is the goal of ITER—designed as the key experimental step between today's fusion research machines and tomorrow's fusion power plants. Latest iter news Youtube est désactivé.
In a Few Lines - ITER
The ITER Project is a globe-spanning collaboration of 35 nations. The ITER Members China, the European Union (through Euratom), India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States have combined resources to conquer one of the greatest frontiers in science—reproducing on Earth the boundless energy that fuels the Sun and the stars.
What will ITER do?
ITER will not convert the heating power it produces as electricity, but—as the first of all magnetic confinement fusion experiments in history to produce net energy gain across the plasma (crossing the threshold of Q≥1) —it will prepare the way for the machines that can.
History - ITER
Today, thousands of people are collaborating at the ITER site in Saint Paul-lez-Durance, France, as well as in China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States to build the ITER Tokamak, the world's most advanced magnetic confinement fusion experiment.
Building ITER
The ITER Organization has overall responsibility for the successful integration and assembly of components delivered to the ITER site by the seven ITER Members. Machine assembly began in 2020. See the assembly pages to read about progress.
ITER Members
Taken together, the ITER Members represent three continents, approximately 40 languages, half of the world's population and 73 percent of global gross domestic product. In the offices of the ITER Organization and the Domestic Agencies, in laboratories and in industry, literally thousands of people are working toward the success of ITER.

What is a tokamak? - ITER
ITER will be the world's largest tokamak—twice the size of the largest machine currently in operation (JT-60SA in Japan), with six times the plasma chamber volume. Videos 29 JUL 2020
Facts & Figures - ITER
If you haven't heard about ITER, the facts and figures on this page will surprise you. The scale and scope of the ITER Project rank it among the most ambitious science endeavors of our time. Building is underway now on the ITER scientific installation in Saint Paul-lez-Durance, France.
ITER in France
The High Representative for the implementation of ITER in France coordinates the realization of the ITER Project and ensures the representation of France to the ITER Members, the European Domestic Agency for ITER and the ITER Organization.
