  * ITER : International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
   The object of ITER Project is to build an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor which will enable us to demonstrate scientifically and technologically such a project that uses Tokamak fusion Reactor to cause a fusion reaction using deuterium-tritium plasma.
 
     Project Goal
   Constructing an experimental Reactor for the technical demonstration of fusion power
  (heat output 500MW)
 
     Participants (7 nations)
   People's Republic of China, European Atomic Energy Community, Republic of India, Japan,
  Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, and The United States of America
 
     Project period
   1988 ~ 2001 (14 years): Concept design and engineering design activities
   2006~2016 : Reactor construction
   2016~2036 : Reactor operation and demonstration
   After 20 years of operation the Reactor will be decommissioned
 
     Total construction cost
