Overview
The responsibilities of ITER-India include a mix of precision, heavy, R&D intensive and interface intensive systems, under built-to-print and functional systems category. In several systems, components fall under the category of first of its kind or of the largest kind. The uniqueness of specifications lead to a challenging situation – namely that neither the existing labs or potential...

Overview
ITER reached 50% completion of the work required to achieve First Plasma in November 2017. Progress has been made on ITER infrastructure since the 2016 FEC, most visibly the construction of many key buildings. The tokamak assembly building and the tokamak bioshield have been completed. The tokamak building will be ready for equipment in 2020. The cryogenic plant and the magnet power supply...

Overview
Europe has elaborated a Roadmap to the realisation of fusion energy in which ‘ITER is the key facility and its success is the most important overarching objective of the programme’. We review the contribution of the recent JET experiments with the ITER first wall materials mix, and, the underlying physics understanding to mitigate the scientific risks identified in the ITER research plan....

Overview
DIII-D research is addressing critical challenges in preparation for ITER and the next generation of fusion devices through a focus on scientific investigation of plasma physics fundamentals, integration of disparate core and boundary plasma physics, and development of attractive scenarios. Fundamental studies show that including the energetic particle “kick” model in transport codes...
