ITER: Modi visits world's most ambitious fusion energy projects in France
Indian PM Narendra Modi and the President of France Emmanuel Macron, jointly visited the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor [ITER], one of the most ambitious fusion energy projects in the world, in Cadarache on Wednesday.
The leaders were welcomed by Director General, ITER.
This was the first visit by any Head of State or Head of Government to ITER.
During the visit, the leaders appreciated the progress of ITER, including the assembly of the world’s largest Tokamak, where ultimately 500 MW of fusion power will be produced by creating, containing and controlling burning plasma.
The leaders also appreciated the dedication of the ITER engineers and scientists working on the project.
India is among the seven ITER members contributing to the project over the last two decades.
Around 200 Indian scientists and associates, as well as notable industry players such as L&T, Inox India, TCS, TCE, HCL Technologies, among others, are engaged in the ITER project.
