ITER will not capture the energy it produces as electricity, but—as first of all fusion experiments in history to produce net energy gain—it will prepare the way for the machine that can.
What will happen if ITER successfully?
When completed, ITER will theoretically produce 10 times as much energy as it needs to run. It will be a “massive, safe, clean, and predictable energy source for hundreds of thousands of years,” said Bigot. “If we succeed - and we will - the breakthrough will be so large.”
What is the status of the ITER fusion power project?
As of May 2021 ITER is over 78% complete toward first plasma. Start is scheduled for late 2025. The start of the project can be traced back to 1978 when the European Commission, Japan, United States, and USSR joined together for the International Tokamak Reactor (INTOR) Workshop.
