The ITER Project: towards a sustainable world energy supply

Sergio Orlandi

Plant Engineering Department, ITER

ITER is a fantastic challenging adventure for scientists, engineering and physics. My presentation is a flight thorough the dream of each of us to achieve the highest level of knowledge in technology and scientific applications. The ITER project, established by an international agreement among seven Members (China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States of America) is a critical step in the development of fusion energy: its role is to confirm the feasibility of exploiting magnetic confinement fusion for the production of energy for peaceful purposes by providing an integrated demonstration of the physics and technology required for a fusion Nuclear Power Plant.
