US ITER is a DOE Office of Science project managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The United States is developing the technology for shattered pellet injection, the key element of ITER’s disruption mitigation system. The system’s purpose is to protect plasma-facing components from heat and other forces that arise during a plasma current disruption event.
ITER’s tokamak cooling water system is designed to cool client systems, such as the first-wall/blanket, vacuum vessel, divertor, and neutral beam injector. The United States is responsible for the design, fabrication, acceptance testing, and delivery of the tokamak cooling water system.
