Pre-registration ends on 10 September 2024 for the 13th ITER International School! Hosted by the NIFS in Nagoya, Japan, from 9-13 December 2024. This year's theme: "Magnetic Fusion Diagnostics and Data Science." #ITER #FusionEnergy #Diagnostics ecs.page.link/mQjDc

Space Solutions for #Fusion! The #ITER team has turned to space engineering to protect the tokamak from construction contamination. In collaboration with #OHB, they're using aerospace cleanliness protocols to keep the reactor components spotless.

@ride4fusion is heading all the way to @iter_organization We are waiting for you! 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♀️🚴 #sport #science #physics #fusion #cycling #fusionenergy

After nearly two years of halted progress, vacuum vessel assembly is back on track at ITER! Vacuum vessel sector #7 is now free from scaffolding, with its geometry fully restored, and thermal shield panels freshly returned from repair in India. #ITER #Fusion #EngineeringMarvel

ITER DG Barabaschi at the 68th #IAEAGC, strengthening global fusion partnerships! Productive talks with Rafael Grossi (IAEA) and representatives from China and India on advancing energy goals.

On 19 Sept, ITER DG Barabaschi and CNNC Chairman Yu Jianfeng signed an Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen cooperation in nuclear fusion, advancing mutual goals and supporting the ITER Project. #ITER #CNNC #NuclearFusion #CleanEnergy #Sustainability

A 1.5-tonne boomerang-shaped busbar from ITER Russia was installed for the central solenoid system! These massive busbars, built to carry up to 70,000 amps, are critical for powering ITER’s magnets. 70% of the expected busbars (402/570) have now arrived! #ITER #FusionEnergy

The 33rd SOFT Symposium opened at DCU with a warm Irish welcome! #ITER Director General Pietro Barabaschi delivered the keynote, sharing critical updates on ITER and stressing the importance of lessons learned and public-private collaboration in fusion. #SOFT2024 #FusionEnergy

Europe’s first ITER Vacuum Vessel sector is complete! In collaboration with F4E, Ansaldo, Westinghouse, and Walter Tosto, this massive stainless steel component is key to housing ITER’s fusion reaction. Shipping from Italy to ITER in September! #FusionEnergy #ITER #Innovation

Japan has qualified the outer vertical target for the ITER divertor! After 4 years of testing, #Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is set to produce 18 units. This component withstands the highest heat loads in the fusion reactor. #ITER #FusionEnergy #NuclearFusion イータージャパン QST

T-shirts are a hit at our SOFT conference stand—gone in minutes! Limited number each day, so act fast! Thanks to Marcus, EUROfusion, and @FusionForEnergy for all the support. Visit us and get your fusion questions answered! #ITER #SOFT2024 #FusionEnergy #EUROfusion

Not all that glitters is silver! ITER magnets, operating at -269°C, are protected by polished thermal shields that rival silver coating after repairs. Precision at its finest! #Fusion #ITER #Engineering #Innovation

At the Forum Aix-Marseille, ITER's Alain Becoulet emphasized fusion’s role in the green transition: “ITER is part of a flotilla of advances in fusion research, creating the ecosystem needed to scale this energy globally.” #FusionEnergy #GreenTransition #ITER #AixMarseilleForum

First group photo on the ITER platform since 2019! Though 1,102 ITER staff were employed at the end of 2023, the full team onsite—including contractors and partners—totals 6,500. Together, we’re building the future of fusion energy! #ITER #FusionEnergy #GlobalTeam #Innovation

Say Cheese! Check out the amazing drone video from our recent ITER group photoshoot! It was a fantastic event, and we want to thank everyone for their participation. Don’t miss the fun—watch the video and relive the moments!

#SOFT2024 in Dublin gathered 1,000 experts to discuss fusion tech advancements and challenges. #ITER was a key focus, alongside DEMO & IFMIF-DONES. The SOFT Innovation Prize honored groundbreaking research. Next stop: #SOFT2026 in #Aix-en-Provence, France! #FusionEnergy

More than 30 private fusion companies joined ITER’s inaugural Fusion Workshop in May 2024 to discuss innovative approaches and how ITER’s experience can help accelerate progress in fusion energy. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing are key! 🔗 Read more: iter.org/newsline/-/4077

VV Sector#5 (440 tonnes) was loaded for shipment to France, marking the first of five vacuum vessel sectors Europe will deliver. The VVS#5 is expected at ITER by month’s end, with four more sectors arriving over the next two years! #ITER #FusionEnergy

As part of France's #ScienceFestival, *Art En Gare* and ITER present a stunning exhibition on the #ITER fusion project at Aix-TGV station! Photos by @CamilleMoirenc showcase the monumental construction of the Tokamak/ On display until Nov. 31st! #FusionEnergy

#ITER Director-General Pietro Barabaschi was honored with the 2024 Chinese Government Friendship Award in Beijing for his outstanding contributions to China's progress. Pictured with fellow awardee Tony Donné, former head of EUROfusion. #FriendshipAward #Fusion
