Equipment. Three Russian-made gyrotron units have been installed at the construction site of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The equipment supply was facilitated by the ITER Project Center (a Rosatom-managed enterprise). Systems critical for the reactor’s startup and successful operation, including auxiliary equipment, were put in place by a team of Russian technicians within six weeks. “The ITER plasma temperatures will be as high as 300 million degrees Celsius, which is 20 times hotter than the Sun’s core. Achieving such temperatures requires enormously complex systems that have never been built before. And our Russian-designed systems with record-breaking technical characteristics will help achieve this,” emphasized Anatoly Krasilnikov, Director of the ITER Project Center.
