ITER is an international, large-scale scientific collaboration intended to prove the viability of fusion as an energy source, ... and to collect the data necessary for the design and subsequent operation of the first electricity-producing fusion power plant. To achieve this goal, seven countries (China, European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States), have joined forces to build the ITER Tokamak: the world’s largest Fusion Device. The seven Members have signed the ITER Agreement in 2006, and have agreed to share in every aspect of the Project: science, procurement, financing, staffing, intellectual property, etc. The ITER Project is based in Saint-Paul Lez Durance, in the South of France, where the ITER platform is currently under construction. read more
