ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject, which aims to replicate the processes of the sun to create energy on Earth. This ambitious project is a collaboration among 35 nations including the USA, Russia, China, the European Union, India, Japan, and South Korea. Located in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, France, ITER’s primary goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy based on the same principle that powers our sun: the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium. The heart of the ITER project is the Tokamak, a magnetic fusion device designed to prove the viability of fusion as a large-scale and sustainable energy source. If successful, ITER will pave the way for the use of fusion power plants, offering a virtually limitless, safe, and environmentally friendly energy source.
