International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) ITER is an internationally funded research and development project that focuses on building the world's first largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor. This project intends to take experimental and theoretical studies of plasma physics or "tokomak" (a device that uses electromagnetic fields to trap plasma) and apply them to build a fully functional nuclear fusion power plant that will harness the energy produced by nuclear fusion to create electricity.. This project is funded by the US, China, India, EU, Russia, Japan and South Korea. The countries mentioned have funded a total of £6.6 billion to the French government for the project to begin. ITER aims to fuse two elements to form helium (He). This is done by fusing deuterium and tritium, which will create a helium nucleus and a high-energy neutron. These elements were chosen to be used, because they require the least amount of activation energy, (therefore having the lowest temperature) and also because they produce the greatest amount of energy...
