The MITICA Beam Source is off to Padova! 🚛✨
The system built by ALSYMEX for F4E left the Tarbes workshop 🇫🇷 and is heading to @ConsorzioRFX 🇮🇹
Inside the crate is a cutting-edge technology, now ready to show its power for #ITER
Perfect landing! A new European ITER Vacuum Vessel sector is in place. 🎯
@iterorg transferred sector module 4 from the Assembly Hall into the Tokamak Pit.
🖐️This makes it 5 out of 9 now installed!
F4E hosted 150 international experts on Electron Cyclotron physics and technologies this week in Barcelona⚡
A wave of ideas and knowledge exchange on a strategic field for ITER and future fusion reactors.
Waveguides made in EU: from prototype to capability. ⏩
ITER will rely on special pipes to channel powerful microwaves to the reactor.
F4E and industry develop know-how to master this technology.
✅Our new prototype shows investment turning into advanced production lines!
A new spin for the Vacuum Vessel assembly 🔄
Europe’s Vacuum Vessel sector 3 was flipped to speed up its sub-assembly.
Using an outdoor gantry crane, @iterorg and @mammoetglobal carried out the precise rotation of the 400-tonne component provided by F4E.
A close-up look at EU-Japan fusion innovation for European diplomats.
A group from @EUinJapan and Member State embassies visited QST Rokkasho, home to the LIPAc accelerator and other joint projects by F4E and @qst_rokkasyo.
Proud to showase our strong collaboration! 🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵
A unique technology manufactured and a partnership worth celebrating 🤝✨
F4E and ALSYMEX completed the beam source of MITICA, the prototype for ITER’s Neutral Beam Injectors at @ConsorzioRFX.
Read how we built this first-of-a-kind system:

Winter is here! ❄️
Cold tests begin for the ITER Toroidal Field Coils, which will be cooled down to 4K (-269 ºC) inside a massive cryostat.
👏 An impressive facility and teamwork, @iterorg@iterjapan!
Shaping advanced fusion materials in Sweden💡
F4E @BigScienceSWE and @essneutron hosted 120 experts from industry, research and Big Science to discuss a key challenge for ITER and future fusion devices.
Time for expertise to materialise into innovation!
Fusion energy is part of Europe’s independence and resilience.
#EuropeDay on 9 May reminds us that energy is essential to our prosperity, security, and peace.
By investing in fusion projects like ITER, we lay the foundations for abundant and clean energy for future Europeans.
Europe's Vacuum Vessel Sector 3 has arrived at ITER 🙌
An exceptionally heavy load safely transported by sea and road under the coordination of @DAHER_official with the support of @Gendarmerie 🚢🚛
One left to go!
A spectacular flight through ITER 🛩️ ▶️
Discover the progress in the construction and machine assembly of the largest fusion experiment with fresh drone footage by @iterorg 👇
F4E Governing Board members appoint Francesco Sette as new Chair.
Sette replaces exiting Chair Carlos Alejaldre and will lead our main supervisory body for a renewable term of two years.

Steady progress in the construction of ITER🧱 ⚡
The two pairs of Emergency Power Supply Buildings, key for the experiment's safety, are now ready for equipment.
🙌 We’re proud to see Europe’s infrastructure turn into power centres. Thank you to our teams and partners!
Global dialogue to build a skilled and sustainable fusion workforce 🌍🧠
F4E took part in a forum hosted by the @iaeaorg in Vienna to discuss how to grow the human capital for commercial fusion.
🤝 An opportunity to exchange perspectives and learn from global approaches.
LIPAc accelerator ready to show its full power 💫
The European and Japanese teams completed the final upgrade and the project now moves towards record-breaking beam operations. 🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵
Well done to our partner @iterjapan
