ITER

The international megaproject building the largest tokamak to prove burning-plasma physics at scale.

Type

Large D–T tokamak

Role

Burning-plasma physics

ITER is a large international tokamak under construction to demonstrate a burning D–T plasma at the scale of a power reactor. As a public project it establishes physics and engineering that the whole field, Kronos included, builds on.

Kronos anchors its confinement assumptions to the multi-machine database ITER helped consolidate, taking a compact, high-field route to complementary ends.
