The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project Council, which cost 18 billion Euros, has confirmed that the ITER nuclear fusion reactor will achieve its first ignition in December 2025. The "first beam plasma" occurred five years later than originally planned. To achieve this goal, the council is asking project partners - China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States - to increase their spending by 4 billion euros. ITER Director-General Bernard Bigot said: "If there is no objection, no accident, we will approve the latest arrangements in November, and then we can continue to move forward."

The goal of ITER is to confirm that nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, and thus release enough energy to provide a usable energy source, is feasible. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to heat two hydrogen isotopes, helium (D) and helium (T), to over 100 million degrees Celsius. ITER features a large container that holds the DT plasma, a powerful superconducting magnet that traps it, and precision particle accelerators and microwave generators that heat it.
The international coalition that is building the reactor has assigned construction tasks to hundreds of companies worldwide. However, as the researchers sought to finalize the design, maintain standards, and deliver more than 1 million components to the reactor site in Calderar, France, the complexity of this task led to time delays and costs. The increase.
In March 2015, Bigot was sent to get the project back on track. In November of last year, he submitted a revised timetable to the council, which delayed the production of the first plasma from 2020 to 2025, and requested an additional 4.6 billion euros for personnel and equipment expenses. The council sent an independent team to review the schedule and asked ITER management to reduce costs. The team announced in April this year that it is technically feasible to produce the first plasma beam by 2025, but warned that unexpected problems may not be ruled out.
The Council meeting held recently approved the 2025 target and accepted additional expenses slightly below € 4 billion.
Bigot said that this may eventually delay the first DT experiment and increase the overall cost, but "it reduces partners' annual expenses and is shared by all partners." The partners have agreed in principle to the method, and the management department is listing more detailed process arrangements. The final decision will be made at the next Council meeting in November.
