ITER NOW 1.1: The Way of the Sun

Welcome to ITER NOW! Join us each week as we explore ITER, the world’s biggest fusion energy reactor, under construction by a group of 35 nations in the south of France. Together, we’ll learn of ITER’s epic construction, its amazing scientific design, and the miraculous political collaboration that makes it possible.

Follow the accompanying ITER NOW Podcast each week to go behind the scenes and listen to extended interviews to learn even more on the ITER Soundcloud:

I have watched fusion research go through so many competitive stages over the decades and am so excited to see this project since its start bringing the world together. I have watched all the channel's videos as they come out and have recommended it to others many times; even on national radio. Thank you for keeping us informed and ty for this particularly informative episode, it really is very much appreciated.

This project is something i was passionate about from an early age. Its heartwarming to see how Iter and i grow together. Iam currently studying engineering and maybe iter and i share a future together! Keep up the great, inspiring work!

[philv]

the kind of vid ITER was missing for a long time. good job. This project is absolutely fantastic

I have been following fusion as a power source for as long as I can remember, at least 40 years, it was one of the things that got me into a science based career. I really hope I live to see the birth of the fusion power industry, it will give me hope that my children's generation can correct some of the mistakes we've made.

Our thirst for energy is unsatiable, we need fusion to survive ourselves!

I absolutely adore everything about this social media re-design! Get the public to know about it! Create massive discussion! Create more competition, more interest, more research and development! If anyone can do it, it'll be ITER, and if they succeed, they might've just built the Nr. 1 important thing on planet earth right now.

Glad to see the world powers working for the better future of mankind🤩

Video production has really stepped up. Nice!

ITER's super-cooled superconducting magnets answer the age-old internet question: "What happens when you combine a fire star with an ice star?" :)

[christotaku]

this is just amazing!! I am glad to see half of humanity unite :)))

[Lebensgott]

i am watching these videos since i was 16 years old or maybe longer... it is really awesome to see the project grow in those 7 years

i love this

[quantumac]

I want fusion to work not because I'm concerned about CAGW but because I'd like to see more energy independence and cleaner power sources. I see fusion as a path to easing energy scarcity and avoiding the senseless violent conflicts surrounding our fossil fuel supply. Hopefully the ITER project will be a fantastic success!

[aVoidPiOverRad]

So as an engineering student I can just come and join a tour? That's awesome.

[AvaTTaRGreyOld]

Good luck to team of ITER, you are real heroes of human species.

[VictorECaplon]

I look forward to the progress. Hopefully this change comes before it’s too late.

[Darku.Matteru]

Gogoo ITER! Cant wait to get it finished!!

[rdi]

I think that will be the most important project from the planet Earth.

[ErikUden]

I think the biggest challenge here was the lack of funding over the past decades and weird political situations which prevented collaboration! Now since most of that is gone, you may flourish as much as possible.

I want this experiment to be successful. Just imagine the future!!
