International Connection: Cardache, France In 2006, a joint venture between the Russian Federation, Japan, China, India, South Korea, the United States, and the European Union was created to demonstrate that fusion technology could be used to produce electrical energy. Originally called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, the consortium is now just known as ITER. The ITER research facility began construction at Cardarche in the South of France in 2008. Fusion experiments at the Joint European Torus in Culham, ITER estimates put the feasibility of a fusion generator as a power source by 2050. |
