	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.

		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.

	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.

	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.

		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.
