Can you imagine what 150 million degrees Celsius are? That's the temperature we want to reach here in a couple of decades. I have had 1.5 days of meeting on the site of the ITER project... Lots of problems

Source The fusion reactor is one of those projects that is always 20 years away. For decades scientists have been saying that "in twenty years" the fusion reactor will be a reality, but every

Back at Barcelona after a long couple of days dealing with the delivery of 5th Toroidal Coil Magnet to the ITER site. I have been following the production of this monster for more than 9 years already,

Today I have reached the third consecutive week of confinement at home, together with my family. Time passes quickly and, although we try to do something different every day at home, I must admit that

Tough day at the Superconducting Magnets factory today but at least we managed to pass the acceptance test of the 1st Toroidal Field Coil Magnet of the ITER project and celebrate the event accompanied

11000 steps just while “dancing” at the workshop today. Not a bad effort today for my feet, specially because I used a very heavy safety boots. The good thing is that I’m already at Marseille’s Airport

... some of the key structures in the assembly of most advanced and ambitious project ever in the development of the Fusion Energy. Today and yesterday I have been inside the monster and, believe me, it

I have a complicated journey today... Well, not only today, I would say that the whole week is going to be hard as hell for me in terms of work. To start with, the weather at Barcelona has changed drastically

Some of you already know that I am Mechanical Engineer working for one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today. This project is called ITER and till today I have dedicated to it more than

Just arrived from a long working day at the supplier’s premises... Attending one Production meeting and a Videoconference with a some colleagues of states regarding the ITER project... Almost no time to

Not so much activity in terms of physical exercise but very much and successful in terms of business. Last lunch of the Europe-Japanese meeting regarding ITER project at Venice. Good meal and better Italian

Finally I get some good steps at my @actifit account today. It has been a cold but at least sunny day here at the industrial area of Venice... I have been following the arrival of important components

Guys, it has been a hard day for me today... I have followed the transportation of 140 Tons of best Japanese Steel Structure ever built to be used in order to built one of the Superconducting Magnets of

My colleagues from Japan has sent to me a few presents which have arrived just yesterday. After 4 weeks of long trip through the ocean, a big vessel arrived to Marghera's Industrial Harbor (Italy) And

The most advanced project that is aiming at constructing operational nuclear fusion reactor is an ITER - International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. An international effort to build and test the

The ITER experiment builds on the concept of the tokamak which was first conceived in Moscow back in the 1960s. A tokamak, is a torus or ‘doughnut-shaped’ continuous tube surrounded by coils that produce

ITER, meaning “the way” in Latin, is a major international experiment aiming to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion as an energy source. It should generate some 500 MW of fusion
