The ITER Project

The world’s most ambitious nuclear fusion project

Argon in the ITER Ecosystem

ITER is the world’s most ambitious nuclear fusion project — 34 nations collaborating to demonstrate that the energy of the stars can become an industrial-scale energy source. Argon General Construct operates within this project’s industrial supply chain through its collaboration with SIMIC S.p.A.

Global Project

34 nations are collaborating to build the world’s largest tokamak in southern France — an unprecedented scientific and industrial endeavour in the history of energy.

Nuclear Fusion

ITER aims to demonstrate that nuclear fusion can produce more energy than it consumes — opening the path to a clean, safe and virtually inexhaustible energy source.

Industrial Supply Chain

The project mobilises a vast ecosystem of specialised industrial suppliers. Argon General Construct is part of this chain through its collaboration with SIMIC S.p.A., a strategic partner of ITER.

“ITER means ‘The Way’ in Latin. It is more than an experiment — it is the demonstration that nuclear fusion can become a reality at industrial scale.”

ABOUT THE PROJECT

ITER — International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

ITER is the world’s most ambitious energy and scientific project. Built in southern France at Cadarache, the ITER tokamak is designed to prove the feasibility of nuclear fusion as a large-scale, carbon-free energy source.

The project brings together 34 nations — the European Union, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States — in an unprecedented collaborative effort. Construction of the tokamak began in 2020, with the primary goal of producing a stable fusion plasma capable of generating ten times more energy than it consumes.

  • The world’s largest tokamak — 23,000 tonnes, 19 metres tall
  • Target Q=10: producing 500 MW from 50 MW of input energy
  • Over one million components, ten million individual parts
  • Industrial supply chain spanning 35 member countries
