INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS ITER?
ITER Stands for International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor
The World is about to construct the next step in
fusion development, a device called ITER
ITER will demonstrate the scientific and
technological feasibility of fusion energy for
peaceful purposes
ITER will produce 500 MW of fusion power with in
input power of just 50MW
Cost, including R&D, is 10 billion Euros

WORKING OF ITER

PLASMA HEATING
We have three heating mechanisms :
Ohmic heating where the current that passes
trough plasma heats it like the a lamp during its
operation
Neutral Beam Injection where neutral particles are
injected inside the reactor and give energy to the
particles via collisions
Radiofrequency Heating where we the plasma in
the same way that we heat our food in a
microwave oven

OBJECTIVES
Produce 500 MW of fusion power
Demonstrate the integrated operation of
technologies for a fusion power plant
Achieve a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the
reaction is sustained
Test tritium breeding

MEMBERS OF ITER
The ITER Project:
ITER Organization & Seven
ITER Members
The 7 ITER Members make
in-cash and in-kind
contributions to the ITER
Project. They have
established Domestic
Agencies
The ITER Organization
manages the ITER Project
in close collaboration with
the 7 Domestic Agencies
The ITER Members share
the intellectual Property

WHEN WILL ITER START?

ITERS SAFETY
Except from tritium we do not have any radioactive
materials inside the reactor.
Any second inside the reactor there is less than a
gram of fuel . The reaction can not continue unless
we have fuel.
After keeping in safety the components of the
installation for 100 they are as radioactive as a
plant that produces energy from coal.
15
ADVANTAGES
ten times the power it consumes
provide a large-scale energy source with basic fuels
16
DISADVANTAGES
Cost is high
Long implementation time
17
CONCLUSION
Fusion can be alternative for other Non
conventional sources
Help us to learn more about burning plasma
