The project ITER PROJECT<\/a><\/strong> project has completed the installation of the largest pulsed magnet system<\/strong> ever built. This assembly is part of the centerpiece of the Tokamak reactor<\/strong>, located in southern France, and is composed of multiple components manufactured by the United States, Russia, Europe and China. <\/p>\n\n

Pulsed magnet system assembly<\/h2>\n\n

The system includes the central solenoid<\/strong>, a cylindrical magnet 18 meters high and weighing 1,000 tons, capable of generating a magnetic field of 13 Tesla. This element was built in the United States with niobium-tin superconductor<\/strong> supplied by Japan, and is vital for initiating and maintaining the plasma current that will reach 150 million degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n\n

Operating next to it are six ring-shaped poloidal field magnets<\/strong> (manufactured by Russia, Europe and China) that stabilize and confine the plasma inside the chamber. In addition, 18 toroidal field coils<\/strong>, developed by Europe and Japan, generate the magnetic field that keeps the plasma in its circular trajectory. The entire system is maintained at cryogenic temperatures by liquid helium. <\/p>\n\n

From superconducting components<\/strong> to supporting structures<\/strong>, the project has mobilized hundreds of companies on three continents. Europe, as host, has financed 45 % of the cost, while six other members(China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the USA<\/em>) contribute 9 % each. All members share 100 % of the knowledge generated. <\/p>\n\n

In summary, these have been the overall contributions: The United States<\/strong> has delivered the central solenoid<\/em> and the exoskeleton <\/em>that supports it. Russia <\/strong>has manufactured poloidal magnets<\/em>, bus bars<\/em> andlarge volumes of superconducting material<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

China <\/strong>has developed corrector coils<\/em> and magnetic feeders<\/em>. Japan <\/strong>has participated in the production of superconductor for toroidal magnets<\/em> and Korea <\/strong>has built the heat shields <\/em>and assembly tools. India<\/strong>, for its part, has manufactured the cryostat <\/em>that protects and covers the Tokamak. <\/p>\n\n

Once operational, ITER is expected to produce 500 megawatts of fusion energy<\/strong> using only 50 megawatts of input power, increasing the energy yield tenfold, providing a clear example of international scientific cooperation.<\/p>\n\n

What makes ITER unique is not only its technical complexity, but also the framework of international cooperation that has sustained it through changing political landscapes.<\/p>\nPietro Barabaschi, ITER Director General.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
