GA will perform testing on the first module to confirm coil performance. The module will then be placed on a specially designed
trailer and shipped to the ITER center in Saint Paul-lez-Durance,
southern France.
ITER, which means "the way" in Latin, is one of the most ambitious
energy projects in the world today. The nations are collaborating
to build the world's largest tokamak, a magnetic fusion device that
has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale
and carbon-free source of energy based on the same principle that
powers our sun and stars.
The heart of a tokamak is its
doughnut-shaped vacuum
chamber. Inside, under the
influence of extreme heat
and pressure, gaseous
hydrogen fuel becomes a
plasma-the very environment in which hydrogen Cross-section of the ITER tokamak
atoms can be brought to
fuse and yield energy. The
charged particles of the plasma can be shaped and controlled by
the massive magnetic coils placed around the vessel; physicists
use this important property to confine the hot plasma away from the
vessel walls. The term "tokamak" comes from a Russian acronym
that stands for "toroidal chamber with magnetic coils."
First developed by Soviet research in the late 1960s, the tokamak
has been adopted around the world as the most promising configuration of magnetic fusion device. ITER will be the world's largest
tokamak-twice the size of the largest machine currently in operation, with ten times the plasma chamber volume.
More than 80 percent of the cost of ITER, about $22 billion, is contributed in the form of components manufactured by the partners.
Many of these massive components of the ITER machine must be
precisely fitted-for example, 17-metre-high magnets with less than
a millimeter of tolerance.
The companies working on ITER build new industrial expertise in
major fields-such as electromagnetics, cryogenics, robotics, and
materials science. This new expertise leads to innovation and
spin-offs in other fields. For example, expertise gained working on
ITER's superconducting magnets is now being used to map the human brain more precisely than ever before. The project is expected
to reach "first plasma" experimentation by 2025.
