Actually, it was the US and Soviet Union that started it, bringing in the EU and Japan at the start. The US dropped out for a few years, before coming back. Russia replaced the USSR. China, South Korea and Canada then joined in. Canada backed out however. Then the final full member to date was India. Australia recently signed an agreement to participate, though I don't believe as a full member.
It's a wonderful device, and I dearly hope it works to everyone's satisfaction, but I still don't see the path from ITER to usable fusion power production. Obviously no commercial power station would be built at anything like the cost of ITER, and even if the problems associated with high temperature plasmas could be solved, it is hard to see this great device as a practical prototype. Even if it works flawlessly, it may go down in history as a noble dead end.
@Kirk Mattoon I agree. But on a positive note, we will gain knowledge. Not only will it's development be beneficial to other sectors as there are challenges to overcome, we will also figure out the 'why not' if it turns out to be a dead end. If anything it will then guide the science-world to develop a different type of technology to generate energy. I think it's also great that several countries are collaborating to take on the challenge.
Amazing project , even the attempt of doing such thing is so brave it almost sounds silly . I hope everything goes well from start to finish , i hope they took in consideration any possible scenario ! Two options really : this either will work like charm and everybody will be proud and happy in the end , or this could go South , really , really quick and with a loud boom at that .
This will not be for commercial use, some of you day dreamers need to read the fjneprint. It's basically what they did with the particle accelerator. It's a project that took decades, failure upon failure . This won't be any different, it's clearly stated that it can only of it even works. Can output BRIEFLY 10x the power it's been given in theory. ITER's thermonuclear fusion reactor will attempt to use 50 MW of heating power to create a plasma of 500 MW (thermal) for periods of 400 to 600 seconds. Wouw.....there goes billions for a flicker of hope. Don't get me wrong, it's a step but not even close to being a reactor that will be useful for us.
when this -machine- _marvel_ works, and it will, assuming no catastrophic failures, money shortages or global warfare interfering, it is going to *change the world* in every sense of the word

project that important should have 5.000.000.000 euro per month... untill we all achieve technology like that... I don't know what the world leaders are doing... There should be commity with USA China and EU and around 500.000.000 peoples [easlly] that can afford it easy should all pay special 10 Euro tax online [so noone steals it] only for developing this and simillar technologies...

Please respond to each of the seemingly valid and striking criticisms by Daniel Jassby published in "The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" and those published by "New Energy Times".
...."ITER's huge toroidal field coils. Thermal shields that will help protect the super conducting coils are attached and finally poloidal field coil #6".... Holy shit we're living in the future.
I'm stunned by the delay in this project... I believe in it but I live not far away and I know the French mentality which consists in making it last as long as possible... I won't be surprised if the first test is not done before 2050. For example, a project for an expressway in Marseille has been planned since the 1970s. As long as the project was in the hands of the public, the work was not moving forward. As soon as it fell into private hands with Bouygues, in 3 years the project was almost finished. So the first test in 2025? I can't believe it.
One of the most breathtaking and important Project in human history. Hard to believe it's real. But we (i'm from germany) will invest hundreds of billions in wind energy🤦♂️
I am always surprised about how little attention this project gets when it is so crucial for all of humanity.

Success of ITER will make us sustainable species.
Ony Europe can get a team going that has china Russer japan India Korea and the USA as members working together. That investment will benefit all stakeholders and ensure Big resources to pull from all over the world while that makes it more complicated in the short run with Iter Components bind made around the world. In the long run thanks to Iter it will be possible to for that technology to be passed down into fusion powerplants that each stakeholder can build on there own. Iter will be the first of a kind but it will not be last of a kind.
Actually, it was the US and Soviet Union that started it, bringing in the EU and Japan at the start. The US dropped out for a few years, before coming back. Russia replaced the USSR. China, South Korea and Canada then joined in. Canada backed out however. Then the final full member to date was India. Australia recently signed an agreement to participate, though I don't believe as a full member.
I am happy to know that my country is a part of this project.
What is the first piece of music played in the video? Thanks in advance.
It's a wonderful device, and I dearly hope it works to everyone's satisfaction, but I still don't see the path from ITER to usable fusion power production. Obviously no commercial power station would be built at anything like the cost of ITER, and even if the problems associated with high temperature plasmas could be solved, it is hard to see this great device as a practical prototype. Even if it works flawlessly, it may go down in history as a noble dead end.
@Kirk Mattoon
I agree. But on a positive note, we will gain knowledge. Not only will it's development be beneficial to other sectors as there are challenges to overcome, we will also figure out the 'why not' if it turns out to be a dead end. If anything it will then guide the science-world to develop a different type of technology to generate energy. I think it's also great that several countries are collaborating to take on the challenge.
Fusion power, so important yet neglected. So hard to achieve... But progress have been made.
ah yes parts delivered by different countries, so when something goes wrong we have someone to blame :)
I Like this Project, its huge, complex and shows what we can do if we really want to
This project and scientists involved should get much much more publicity given that they are creating the future power technology.
Amazing project , even the attempt of doing such thing is so brave it almost sounds silly . I hope everything goes well from start to finish , i hope they took in consideration any possible scenario ! Two options really :
this either will work like charm and everybody will be proud and happy in the end , or this could go South , really , really quick and with a loud boom at that .
This will not be for commercial use, some of you day dreamers need to read the fjneprint. It's basically what they did with the particle accelerator. It's a project that took decades, failure upon failure . This won't be any different, it's clearly stated that it can only of it even works. Can output BRIEFLY 10x the power it's been given in theory.
ITER's thermonuclear fusion reactor will attempt to use 50 MW of heating power to create a plasma of 500 MW (thermal) for periods of 400 to 600 seconds.
Wouw.....there goes billions for a flicker of hope. Don't get me wrong, it's a step but not even close to being a reactor that will be useful for us.
Beautiful! The graphics were wonderful and made it so easy to watch and learn. A Performance Art for humanity... Imagine that! 🤔 🙏🏼
when this -machine- _marvel_ works, and it will, assuming no catastrophic failures, money shortages or global warfare interfering, it is going to *change the world* in every sense of the word
Is this a pizza machine?
Noooo, it's clearly for donuts.
Look, I know this is real, but... The presentation reminds me so much of the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator
I am just glad that despite all the negativity in humanity, we have never stopped to move forward in the exploration of science.
Almost perfect timing because There will be a space station around the moon so File for this
This is truly inspiring, last time i updated myself on ITER i thought it to be much further in the future
Real heroes work in solitude.
If this project is successful, it will literally change the world.
Just look what we can do when we work together. 🌍🌎🌏 one world, one species, one future.
Some beautiful stuff right there. I hope it continues wonderfully.
it is very impressive if you think about it that many of so tiny fleshy bodies can build such an milestone.
It seems big, but is it really over half a million pieces? www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-jigsaw-puzzle-most-pieces. Also it looks exactly like that James Bond underwater part.
.......raises hand at the back of the class.....'real what's it do?'
Why does this have a Vibe of we'll be watching this film as a montage in 50 years as part of rolling news coverage of a giant crater in the ground and complete with blast radius and emergency response crew
Man, I love engineering. Can't wait to graduate and participate in such cutting edge projects.
We must never forget the pioneer and visionary of the electrical universe who postulated... The present is yours, but the future, for which I have worked so hard, belongs to me... Dr. Nikola Tesla-10//07/ /1856-- - 01/06/1943---
I'm getting excited but since 2020 is such a bad luck I don't know if this will turn out to be a success...it might have gone wrong and create a planet danger disaster
more power more automation, and more work for me...
humans really should work together....ik countries has to fight for each other, but if we reached to the point where every country can have its own planet.......
Nations connecting and working together , Build good Infrastructure Utilities for the development of the WORLD is beneficial . Like RAW material coming all over continues and to setting up ITER . That's more liking . If the Plasma run Successfully . Then Innovation in Science , Space and Technology will grow exponentially , and minus the Destruction of Nature and Humanity ..
and Like to see more Project like for the development in future
project that important should have 5.000.000.000 euro per month... untill we all achieve technology like that...
I don't know what the world leaders are doing...
There should be commity with USA China and EU and around 500.000.000 peoples [easlly] that can afford it easy should all pay special 10 Euro tax online [so noone steals it] only for developing this and simillar technologies...
That would give 5.000.000.000 per month for develope of that and other GREEN technologies. I would gladly pay this 120 euro per year
Please respond to each of the seemingly valid and striking criticisms by Daniel Jassby published in "The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" and those published by "New Energy Times".
...."ITER's huge toroidal field coils. Thermal shields that will help protect the super conducting coils are attached and finally poloidal field coil #6"....
Holy shit we're living in the future.
I'm stunned by the delay in this project... I believe in it but I live not far away and I know the French mentality which consists in making it last as long as possible... I won't be surprised if the first test is not done before 2050.
For example, a project for an expressway in Marseille has been planned since the 1970s. As long as the project was in the hands of the public, the work was not moving forward. As soon as it fell into private hands with Bouygues, in 3 years the project was almost finished.
So the first test in 2025? I can't believe it.
One of the most breathtaking and important Project in human history. Hard to believe it's real.
But we (i'm from germany) will invest hundreds of billions in wind energy🤦♂️
