A star is bornA

star will soon be born, a star unlike any other ... a manmade star. ITER – the Latin word for "The Way" – willlight up in the middle of the coming decade.
From a scientific and technological point of view, it will
be one of humankind's historic achievements. The creationof an artificial star and the tapping of the tremendous
amounts of energy produced could forever alter the courseof civilization.
The ITER Project, an unprecedented international
collaboration that brings together China, the European
Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States, isthe culmination of decades of research and years of
diplomatic negotiation. It has been the aspiration of three
generations of physicists; it is now the reality of hundredsof scientists, engineers and labourers working in southern
France where the ITER installation is under construction.
The seven ITER Members, representing half the world’s
population, share the responsibility for building the ITER
machine and facilities. Every Member, essentially, isinvolved in every system.
This fourth edition of the ITER photobook aims to takeyou into the heart of ITER – from the construction site inProvence (pages 5 to 30) to factories on three continents(pages 31 to 54), where men and women from 35 nations
are bent on realizing one of humankind's most enduring
dreams: capturing the fire of the stars and making it
available for the millennia to come.

ITER ORGANIZATION PROGRESS IN PICTURESThe ITER Tokamak

The ITER machine is a tokamak, the Russian acronym
for Toroidal Chamber, Magnetic Coils. Tokamaks weredeveloped in the 1960s at a time when nations wereexperimenting with all kinds of diﬀerent systems to
reproduce the nuclear reactions at work in the core of the
Sun and stars.
A tokamak, like a star, fuses light atoms into heavier ones.
A tokamak is a magnificent tribute to Albert Einstein’s E=mc2:
the tiny loss of mass that results from the fusion processtranslates into a huge quantity of energy. One gramme offusion fuel (the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium)
generates as much energy as eight tonnes of oil.
ITER will be by far the largest and most complex tokamak
ever built. Designed from the experience accumulated inhundreds of fusion machines throughout the world, it will
demonstrate that fusion energy is scientifically andtechnologically feasible.

ITER ORGANIZATIONMANUFACTURING

A

unique aspect of ITER implementation is the in-kindprocurement system that was established at the onsetof the project. Instead of contributing purely financial
resources, China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea,
Russia and the United States will be providing 90% of theircontributions in the form of machine components, systems
and – in the case of Europe – buildings.
Procurement packages are shared equally (~ 9% of thetotal value) between China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia andthe United States; Europe’s share, as Host Member, is ~ 45%.
The in-kind procurement arrangement is at the core of
ITER's founding philosophy, oﬀering the ITER Members
invaluable experience in the manufacturing of components
for a fusion installation.
By contributing to the construction of the experimental
machine, the ITER Members are creating the technologicaland industrial basis for the commercial fusion reactors of
the future.
The project is also spurring developments in otherindustries, as companies apply expertise acquired in the
fabrication of ITER’s cutting-edge components and systems

ITER ORGANIZATIONHIGHLIGHTS

In the last months of 2017, ITER passed a symbolic
milestone. Based on the stringent metrics that measure
overall project performance, 50 percent of the "total
construction work scope through First Plasma" (a categorythat includes all design work; construction andmanufacturing; delivery; assembly, installation andcommissioning) is now complete.
First Plasma, scheduled in 2025, will be a decisive step inthe making of the man-made star that will demonstrate that
fusion energy can produce electricity on an industrial scale.
