The International Fusion Energy Conference is a platform for discussions of thermonuclear power industry research development prospects, technological and investment aspects of its implementation. The program of the event involves an ambitious business program including plenary sessions, round-table sessions, and featured sessions. In the course of the Conference exhibitory expositions and technical tours to scientific research institutes involved in implementation of the international project of ITER nuclear fusion reactor will be arranged. Within the Conference The Nuclear Fusion Prize will be awarded for outstanding achievements in nuclear fusion.
A hard-driving program
The Conference includes professional topical sessions on investigations in the field of fusion, ITER technologies and high energy particle physics, etc.
The exhibition will include expositions of Russian and foreign companies taking part in the ITER international project implementation: the Korean National Fusion Research Institute, ROSATOM, JCS TVEL, NRC Kurchatov Institute, JCS VNIIKP (All-Russian Research and Development Institute of Cable Industry), JSC N. A. Dollezhal Research and Development Institute of Power Engineering, FSUE Basalt, RF SRC TRINITY, FSUE RI SPA Lutch and the Ioffe Institute. ROSATOM enterprises’ exhibitory expositions will demonstrate contribution to implementation of the ITER international project including mockups of gyrotrons, superconducting cable and conductor for the ITER magnetic system, test benches for components of the ITER vacuum chamber. Information will be presented on production and Russian technologies for manufacture of beryllium lining for the ITER first wall, diagnostic equipment and tests within the framework of the ITER project, mockups of diamond detectors for vertical neutron chamber and poloidal coil of magnetic system.
During the technical tours to JSC D. V. Efremov Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (October 14) and Ioffe Technical Institute (October 15 ) the participants of the International Conference will familiarize themselves with information on works being conducted at enterprises of the ROSATOM for the ITER international project.

A step towards fusion
The ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is the first in the world experimental nuclear fusion reactor, which is being constructed in Cadarache (France) in cooperation with Russia, USA, Japan, China, India, South Korea and European Union.
The international project ITER is implemented on the basis of the world’s leading nuclear fusion programs. It is aimed at demonstration of scientific and technical feasibility of fusion energy production for peaceful purposes. ITER will be the first thermonuclear facility producing heat on a commercial scale. Existing experimental thermonuclear facilities produce small amount of heat by fusion. The ITER will produce heat in amounts comparable to that of a commercial-scale power plant and contribute to solving many of key engineering problems arising from the use of nuclear fusion as a real energy source.
The ITER is the next logical step in development of investigation programs in the field of controlled nuclear fusion and a necessary stage of demonstration of the possibility to generate electricity utilizing fusion.
