Feeding the #ITER #magnets ! Like a circle of giant syringes all pointing inward, 31 feeders transport and deliver the essentials to the 10,000-tonne magnet system—that is, electrical power and cooling fluids. See more here: #cryogenic #fusionenergy

Shaken not stirred! It's not about the iconic cocktail, but about the testing of unique components at #ITER . ITER takes #vacuum components to the test to see how they manage under realistic earthquake conditions. See more details here: #ITER

"We need a lot more clean and safe energy in the future. Fusion energy is able to meet this demand," says President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen at the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. "That's why it is correct to invest in fusion energy."

Kernfusion ist sauber und sicher. Ideal, um im Energiemix der Zukunft die Erneuerbaren zu ergänzen. Wir haben in Bayern & Europa brillante Fusionsforschung. Wir müssen sie zum Business Case machen. Europa wird weiterhin jede erdenkliche Hilfe leisten ↓

It was all about networking for early career researchers at the 2nd EPS Forum at the FU in Berlin from 25-27 March. Over half of the 400 participants were students. At the #ITER stand they got first-hand information about #research and job opportunities at ITER. @EuroPhysSoc

The visit at #ITER last week of former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin held special significance. 20 years earlier, Raffarin had played a key role in the negotiations that led to ITER being built in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance/Cadarache.
