Russian gyrotrons are now in place at ITER.
The first three units have been installed as part of the electron cyclotron heating system, supplied through a global effort involving Europe, India, Japan, Russia, and the United States. #ITER #FusionEnergy #BigScience

- In the air! The lift of sector module #4 is underway. When it lands tomorrow, it will become the fifth of nine sectors to be successfully transferred into the #tokamak pit—meaning more than half of #ITER’s plasma chamber will be in place. Stay tuned! #fusionenergy #ITERAssembly
- ITER marked the start of operations at its MCTF — building knowledge, infrastructure, and operating experience for the wider fusion ecosystem. After the first coil cooldown to 4 K, the facility will support magnet testing ahead of installation. bit.ly/ITER_MCTF_Pres…
- A house on wheels? No, it's the eighth of nine #vacuumvessel sectors, this one manufactured by Europe, on its way to #ITER. It will arrive in the wee hours of Thursday, 7 May. #fusionenergy @fusionforenergy @DAHER_official @WalterTostoSpa
- At ITER, global leaders gather for the Public-Private Fusion Workshop. DG Pietro Barabaschi: “You need both cooperation & competition.” Fusion is moving from possibility to necessity. #FusionEnergy #ITER #CleanEnergy
- MEPs from the Industry, Research & Energy Committee visited ITER (1 April) to discuss fusion’s role in Europe’s long-term energy strategy. DG Barabaschi highlighted ITER as a benchmark project and workforce hub, while F4E noted €7.2B invested in the EU supply chain (2007–2025)
