IN A NUTSHELL 🔬 The ITER project aims to replicate the sun’s fusion process on Earth, with the recent delivery of a 59-foot superconducting magnet marking a significant milestone. Eight American companies participated in this endeavor, with Superbolt in Pennsylvania playing a crucial role in developing the technology required to secure the assembly against extreme forces. ITER stands as the world’s largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor, involving 35 countries, including all European Union members, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and the United States.
