	ITER - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ITER is an international tokamak (magnetic confinement fusion) experiment, planned to be built in France and designed to show the scientific and technological feasibility of a full-scale fusion power reactor.
		ITER is designed to produce approximately 500 MW (500,000,000 watts) of fusion power sustained for up to 500 seconds (compared to JET's peak of 16 MW for less than a second).
		Construction of the ITER complex is planned to begin in 2008[5], while assembly of the tokamak itself is scheduled to begin in the year 2011.

	Issues in S and T, Summer 1997, The ITER Decision and U.S. Fusion R&D
		ITER is the product of a years-long collaboration among several countries that is both a major advance in fusion science and a major step toward a safe and inexhaustible energy supply for humanity: practical power from fusion.
		ITER would be the first experiment in the world capable of definitively exploring the physics of burning plasmas-plasmas in which most of the power that maintains the plasma at thermonuclear temperatures is provided by the deuterium-tritium fusion events themselves.
		ITER construction funding should be budgeted as a line item separate from the budget of the U.S. national fusion program in order to ensure the continued strength of the latter.

	The International Fusion Project (ITER)
		The role of ITER in the world’s fusion energy science and development programs would be to address the principal remaining physics question, namely, the understanding, control and predictability of a burning plasma (the fusion ‘fuel’) and then to address the necessary associated technologies as well.
		ITER would be the first burning plasma physics device and is expected to produce fusion power at 500 MW and the burn pulse would be eight minutes to one hour.
		The ongoing ITER project preparatory activities, called the ITER Transitional Arrangements, which came into force in January 2003, cover both technical and managerial preparations for proceeding with the ITER facility once agreement on key issues is reached.

	ITER
		ITER is based around a hydrogen plasma torus operating at over 100 million °C, and will produce 500 MW of fusion power.
		The overall programmatic objective of ITER is to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes.
		ITER will accomplish this objective by demonstrating high power amplification and extended burn of deuterium-tritium plasmas, with steady-state as an ultimate goal, by demonstrating technologies essential to a reactor in an integrated system, and by performing integrated testing of the high-heat-flux and nuclear components required to utilize fusion energy for practical purposes.

		ITER steady-state operating scenarios are reviewed for plasma configurations that can be achieved with either a monolithic central solenoid (as in the ITER Interim Design), or with one of two segmented central solenoid options.
		The ITER power and particle control system is designed to exhaust the 300 to 400 MW of alpha and auxiliary heating power and the He ash created by the fusion reactions, to control the density, and to fuel the plasma.
		ITER will be the first experiment confronted to such a challenge, it is therefore important to study the feasibility of such a simultaneous control and the possible requirements made on the design of this device.

	Session 2IFA - Symposium on ITER Physics.
		The ITER Parties anticipate that ITER (R = 8.14 m, a = 2.80 m, B = 5.7 T, I = 21 MA) will be the definitive fusion research device for the period 2010-2030 and as such will be the principal facility for exploring the physics and technology testing issues of a reactor-scale plasma.
		To this end, ITER is designed with the dual objectives of being capable of conducting comprehensive physics studies of reactor-regime plasmas and of being able to reliably produce the fusion power level and burn duration needed for testing of reactor nuclear and plasma-facing-components at appreciable neutron fluence.
		The design studies for ITER and, indeed, for all proposed=20 reacting plasma experiments have stressed both the extreme=20 difficulty of exhausting the heating power and the importance of controlling the plasma performance and fusion power by=20 exhausting He ash and controlling the plasma density.

	Maintaining Web-based Bibliographies: a Case Study of Iter, the Bibliography of Renaissance Europe
		The Iter Bibliography will eventually include many different types of materials, but the focus of this paper is on the information management issues that pertain to creating and maintaining records for materials published in the journal literature.
		Iter, meaning 'a journey' or 'a path' in Latin, is a newly formed, non-profit research project with partners in Toronto (the headquarters), New York City, and Tempe, Arizona.
		To fulfill the Iter Bibliography's second and third objectives, i.e., to provide comprehensive coverage of print and electronic publications, and to involve both Renaissance Studies and Information Studies graduate students in the creation and maintenance of the records, a special methodology was developed for managing the records in the database.

	ITER Siting Decision Clears One Important Obstacle in Congress
		The long-running controversy over whether ITER should be sited in France or Japan has loomed over the project to the extent that Orbach said in today's briefing that he was worried a skeptical Congress would see this as an unresolvable stalemate.
		To be successful, however, the ITER negotiations must resolve not only the siting of the project, and an agreed-upon financial and procurement arrangement, but also critical management and oversight arrangements.
		The ITER project will make this vision a reality." The coming months will be crucial ones for the Administration, Congress, the U.S. fusion community, and the ITER Organization in realizing the vision Secretary Bodman spoke of.

		During the ITER construction and operation period, other magnetic confinement schemes or inertial fusion may show more promise than ITER, so the door is open for these schemes to supersede the tokamak in subsequent steps.
		The concept of the "fast track" to fusion power, should ITER continue to demonstrate that the tokamak line of magnetic confinement is the most promising for power generation, has recently been further elaborated in studies at EFDA and at Culham Laboratory.
		It is designed around "pillars" of the programme - ITER, IFMIF, and existing large tokamaks - considered essential to further progress, as well as "buttresses" - e.g.
