Russian Equipment Installed at the ITER Fusion Reactor Site

Engineers from Rosatom enterprises have completed the installation of gyrotron systems at the site of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a key milestone in Russia's contribution to the global fusion energy project.

Companies within the Rosatom state corporation have completed the installation of gyrotron complexes at the ITER construction site. The equipment is considered critical to the operation of the reactor and was installed as part of Russia's commitments under the ITER program.

The entire installation process took approximately six weeks. Experts from both the ITER Organization and Russia's fusion research community have highlighted the significance of this stage of the project.

"Plasma temperatures inside the ITER reactor will reach 300 million degrees, about 20 times hotter than the core of the Sun. Heating plasma to such temperatures requires extraordinarily complex systems, and nothing on this scale has ever been done before. Our domestically developed gyrotron complexes, with their record-setting technical performance, will help make that possible," said Anatoly Krasilnikov, director of the ITER Project Center.

The delivery of control racks for the gyrotron systems is scheduled for this autumn.
