ITER is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering project intended to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power, under construction near the Cadarache research center in southern France since 2013. It is expected to achieve first plasma in 2033 to 2034, at which point it will be the world's largest fusion reactor, with a plasma volume about six times that of Japan's JT-60SA, previously the largest tokamak.
