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.

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.

"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 ↓
After ten years of service, a "veteran" crane known as C2 was retired from the
#ITER
worksite. A 84 m tall "workhorse" - one of its assignments the lifting of 30 t nuclear door frames into the

What is the state of
#fusionenergy
in Europe and how can its development be accelerated?
European public and private fusion initiatives get together on 23 April in Strasbourg to discuss these questions.
#ITER

Be quick, use the opportunity and register at the link below for 10 seats at 10.00 and 4 at 10.30.
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.

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.
The
#Divertor
Test
#Tokamak
in Frascati, Italy, is an important project for the development of
#fusionenergy
. DTT is designed to test divertor concepts and demonstrate innovative solutions for the divertor.
