May 7, 2024 · Scientists at New Jersey's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, who collaborated on the project, announced today that the device created a super-hot material called a plasma that reached 90 million degrees Fahrenheit (50 million degrees Celsius) for 6 straight minutes.
1 day ago · ITER’s first 5,200-ton vacuum vessel built to contain plasma for fusion reactions. The vacuum vessel, a tightly sealed steel container, holds the fusion reactions and is the first layer of safety.
Oct 31, 2023 · Until ITER turns on, Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor will be the largest in the world. National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology. Share: The long trek toward practical fusion energy passed a milestone last week when the world’s newest and largest fusion reactor fired up.
The reactor was expected to take 10 years to build, and ITER had planned to test its first plasma in 2020 and achieve full fusion by 2023. In 2024, ITER published a new schedule with deuterium-deuterium plasma operations starting in 2035. [ 7 ]
Jul 1, 2024 · ITER’s plasma current will peak at 15 million amperes, a record for tokamaks built anywhere in the world till date. Updated: Jul 01, 2024 05:05 AM EST
Jun 15, 2021 · ITER will be the first fusion device to produce net energy across the plasma, meaning the fusion reaction will generate more thermal energy than the energy required to heat the plasma. ITER will also be the first fusion device to maintain fusion for long periods of time.
