Aula U1-07
The world requires a long-term power source that can operate on demand and produce large amounts of energy. Fusion power has the potential to meet this need. ITER is a large-scale experimental device under
construction to demonstrate the feasibility of controlled fusion power on Earth. Located in Provence, France, ITER is an international collaboration involving more than 30 countries and is progressing steadily toward its goals.
This talk will provide an overview of ITER’s design, its current status, and the key technologies that underpin its development. Attendees will gain insight into the project's progress and upcoming milestones. Some critical technologies, such as the superconducting magnetic systems, are already developed and under installation, while others remain in various stages of development.
A crucial component of ITER is its measurement and control systems.
Diagnostics play a vital role in real-time monitoring, providing feedback to control actuators that sustain and regulate plasmas over extended periods.
