Winter is here! ❄️

Cold tests begin for the ITER Toroidal Field Coils, which will be cooled down to 4K (-269 ºC) inside a massive cryostat.

👏 An impressive facility and teamwork, @iterorg @iterjapan!

📢#ITER 最新情報✨
ITER建設サイト内の磁場低温試験施設（MCTF）でついに、トロイダル磁場コイル（TFコイル）の冷却試験を行うための冷却が始まりました❄
10日以内に銀色の湯たんぽのように見える装置（クライオスタット）の内部を4K（－269℃）まで冷やし、冷却試験へと進む予定です。

@collectifission oh no we can see progress, I’ll give them that

But I have no idea where we are overall

They were able to make plasma a while ago without delivery of what seems to be a key component (it arrived in September), and it sounds like a whole bunch of other key components are still missing

But that’s just me not knowing how the reactors work (and perhaps them not communicating for newbies like me)

Still, there are entire pages dedicated to communicating 2025 as a target, not updated on their website 🤷‍♀️

And yet, I’m not surprised that this project is getting delayed… I’d even say it’s a miracle that international cooperation should still be going ahead, despite everything that has changed geopolitically over the last half decade

@grimm Niemand weiß, ob es Fusions-Kraftwerke jemals geben wird. #Iter

@DerLogiker Mehr Energie als man aufgewendet hat im physikalischen Sinn bezogen auf das Plasma, nicht im Ingenieursinn bezogen auf die gesamte Anlage, vermute ich.

#ITER wird der erste #Tokamak Fusionsreaktor sein, der das Potential hat, für 6 Minuten 10x mehr Energie zu erzeugen, als man aufgewendet hat.

Das Projekt ist seit 1985 in Arbeit und die Anlage wird 2030 einsatzbereit sein. Bis dahin wird sie 20 Mrd Euro verschlungen haben.

Realisten gehen nicht vor 2070 von kommerziell nutzbaren Fusionsreaktoren aus.

ITER accueille pour la première fois un acteur privé chinois, ENN, au sein de l’ITPA, marquant un tournant industriel pour la fusion nucléaire.

La fusion change de visage : ITER ouvre ses portes au privé. Pendant longtemps, la fusion nucléaire a été une affaire d’États. Des laboratoires publics avec des budgets colossaux, des collaborations internationales… mais très peu de place pour les industriels privés. Ce modèle est en train de basculer depuis quelques…
