ITER signs 80 mln euros deal with Japan
Cadarache, France (AFP) Nov 28, 2007 The head of a project aimed to test whether nuclear fusion, the massive energy source that drives the sun, can be a viable power source on earth signed an 80-million-dollar supply contract with a Japanese firm Wednesday. Kaname Ikeda, the Japanese head of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) being built here, signed the deal with the head of Japan's Atomic Energy Agency for the massive coils that create the magnetic field keeping the super-hot liquid plasma in place. ITER is building the experimental fusion reactor, which is intended to come online in 2016 in a project backed by the EU, Japan, China, Russia, the United States and India.
