ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

Manufactured by Hyundai Heavy Industries, the fourth and last vacuum vessel sector procured by Korea took to the sea on 24 August. The massive 440-tonne component will travel for approximately one month before reaching the Mediterranean. Due to the situation in the Horn of Africa waters, the ship will take the long way home, rounding the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of the African continent and sailing all the way north to the Strait of Gibraltar to enter the Mediterranean.

Pre-registration ends on 10 September 2024 for the 13th ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ International School, which will be held from 9 to 13 December 2024 in Nagoya hosted by National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), Japan. The theme of the 13th School is "Magnetic Fusion Diagnostics and Data Science."

Diagnostics are key to the achievement of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ fusion power demonstration goals and they require the application of a wide range of techniques. But diagnostics are not enough to ensure ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's success; only through advanced analysis of the data they provide will it be possible to guide the experiments towards their fusion power goals. It is timely to address these multidisciplinary areas in the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ school.

To register, and for all information, .

Fred Mills of  construction channel on YouTube returned to the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site this summer to report on ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ after a  produced in 2022 amassed 4 million views.

In a sleekly produced 30-minute feature he reminds his audience of the potential of nuclear fusion ... and the many challenges. He recounts how the international collaboration got its start in the 1980s, how facility construction began in 2010, and how today, in the context of challenges in assembling the one-million-component machine, the teams are collaborating to solve engineering challenges and deliver solutions.

He calls ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ "the planet's most monumental build." The scale of the ambition, the extent of the engineering, the attention to detail is honestly mind-blowing," he says. "It¡¯s hard to think that the place where I¡¯m standing could one become the birthplace of a new form of energy. This spot could literally see the start of something that could change the world."
