The World's Largest Fusion Reactor Finally Begins Assembly

Head of ITER Construction Project speaks highly of China's contribution to the project

ITER has reached a new milestone: the first Japanese gyrotron is now in place and prepared for commissioning. Gyrotrons are powerful RF generators that produce microwaves at 170 GHz—each delivering up to 1 MW of power. These beams will heat ITER’s plasma to fusion conditions and help control instabilities. In total, ITER will host 72 gyrotrons: 48 for the Start of Research Operations another 24 for DT-1 With cabling complete and power supply in place, commissioning of the first unit begins this
