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.

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.

In 1997, JET produced 16 MW of fusion power from a total input heating power of 24 MW (Q=0.67). ITER is designed to yield in its plasma a ten-fold return on power (Q=10), or 500 MW of fusion power from 50 MW of input heating power.

The purpose of the ITER Organization is to "provide for and promote cooperation among the Members on the ITER Project," an international collaboration to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
