Turning fusion power into a new source of energy for humanity: this is the raison d’être of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), the largest nuclear fusion research project in the world. Its aim is to demonstrate that it is possible to build a thermonuclear power plant capable of producing energy in a safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
Since 2005, ITER’s members – China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States – have committed to a 35-year collaboration to build and operate the ITER experimental device.
