  ITER, St Paul lez Durance

An overview of the ITER pro­ject will be pre­sent­ed to­geth­er with other major pro­jects with­in the world­wide Fu­sion pro­gramme, es­pe­cial­ly IFMIF (The In­ter­na­tion­al Fu­sion Ma­te­ri­als Ir­ra­di­a­tion Fa­cil­i­ty). IFMIF is a high in­ten­si­ty deuteron ac­cel­er­a­tor for ma­te­ri­al ir­ra­di­a­tion re­search with a pro­to­type to be con­struct­ed in Japan by an in­ter­na­tion­al team. ITER is the worlds largest Toka­mak under con­struc­tion in Cadarache (France), with seven par­ties (China, Eu­rope, India, Japan, Korea, Rus­sia and the US) con­tribut­ing nine­ty per­cent of the pro­ject In-Kind. These two major ac­tiv­i­ties to­geth­er with the up­grade of the Japanese Toka­mak JT-60SA as well as the de­vel­op­ment of a world­wide plat­form for fu­sion re­search are the pil­lars of re­search to de­vel­op Fu­sion as a re­al­is­tic source of en­er­gy for the fu­ture.
