About ITER
The ITER, which means ‘’the way’’ in Latin, is a project is one of the most ambitious global scientific collaborations aimed at harnessing nuclear fusion- the same energy that powers the Sun as a clean, sustainable energy source. Located in Cadarache, southern France, ITER consists of 7 partners which brings together 33 nations, including India, to build the world’s largest tokamak, a doughnut-shaped reactor designed to confine plasma using powerful magnetic fields. Its goal is to demonstrate that fusion can produce ten times more energy than it consumes, generating 500 megawatts of power from just 50 megawatts of input. Unlike fission, fusion produces minimal radioactive waste and uses abundant fuels like deuterium from seawater and tritium bred from lithium. ITER is not just a technological marvel- it’s a bold step toward a future of carbon-free, limitless energy.
About ITER-India
ITER-India is the Indian Domestic Agency (DA) for the prestigious ITER Project, an international collaboration to develop fusion energy as a safe, clean, and virtually limitless power source. Functioning under the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) Gandhinagar, Gujarat, and fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, ITER-India is responsible for delivering India’s in-kind contributions to the ITER project. With a team of highly skilled scientists, engineers, and technical experts, ITER-India designs, manufactures, and delivers cutting-edge components and systems that are critical to the success of the ITER fusion reactor in France. As a DA it exemplifies India’s commitment to global scientific advancement and sustainable energy innovation.
