US ITER

US ITER is a DOE Office of Science project managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Organization: US ITER

Roughing pump from Pfeiffer

Vacuum Auxiliary and Roughing Pumps Systems

ITER has unique vacuum pumping requirements due to high throughput tritium operation. The United States is responsible for the development, design, and fabrication of the vacuum auxiliary and roughing pumps systems.

Central Solenoid

The central solenoid is the heart of the ITER tokamak and serves as a critical element in the ITER magnet system. The United States is responsible for the design, research and development, and fabrication of the central solenoid’s seven modules, plus the associated structure, assembly tooling, bus extensions, and cooling connections.
