Scientists and engineers from Europe, Japan, Russia, USA, China, India and South Korea are working in an unprecedented international collaboration on the next major step for the development of fusion by building the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER) in Cadarache, France . ITER will cost around 5 billion Euros to build over the next 10 years of which Europe is contributing around 2 Billion Euros.

ITER's mission is to demonstrate fusion on the scale of a power station. To do this, ITER will produce more energy output than is needed to begin and sustain fusion, demonstrate essential fusion energy technologies in a system integrating the appropriate physics and technology, and test key elements required to use fusion as a practical energy source.

Europe’s in-kind ontributions will be procured by the ‘Fusion for Energy’ agency in Barcelona and is expected to place around 220 contracts made up of 130 engineering systems and 90 service contracts over 10 years.

This presentation is open to EIC Members Only.

The presentation will cover the following:
The UKAEA’s Fusion and Industry team at the Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire is responsible for encouraging UK companies to compete for international supply contracts which are now beginning to appear for the construction of ITER.

Speaker:
Dan Mistry, Fusion and Industry Manager, UKAEA
