Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the ITER project or the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor – which is today described as the world’s largest and most expensive experiment on Earth in Cadarche in Southern France. PM Modi was with his hosts, French President Emmanuel Macron. A statement by India’s Foreign Ministry called it “one of the most ambitious fusion energy projects in the world today”.
Fusion energy promises to offer almost carbon-free and unlimited supply of clean energy and is therefore a future solution to reduce the risk of climate change.
On the last day of this visit to France, PM Modi inspected the most advanced fusion energy nuclear reactor, where the seven most technically advanced countries of the world are trying to create a small sun on Earth, it is ‘they’ Is named.

Incidentally, it has written in this project. India is contributing resources worth about Rs 20,000 crore or about 2.5 billion dollars for this effort and in turn contributing less than ten percent of the cost, it will get access to one hundred percent of the intellectual property related to ITER. So that in the future, a fusion energy reactor can actually be made in India.
Some of the world’s best nuclear scientists are working to make ‘Aditya on Earth’ in Southern France. Efforts are on to follow the atomic response to give strength to the Sun on Earth.
During the journey, leaders from India and France appreciated the progression of ITER, including the world’s largest Tokakam assembly, where the production of 500 MW fusion power will eventually be produced and controlled by the production of 500 MW fusion power. The leaders also appreciated the dedication of ITER engineers and scientists working on the project. ,
India is one of the seven ITER members who contributed to the project in the last two decades. Along with about 200 Indian scientists and colleagues, notable industry players such as L&T, Inox India, TCS, TCE, and HCL technologies are engaged in the ITER project, among others.
L&T, India’s famous heavy engineering company, is deeply associated with the ITER project and L&T’s full -time director Anil Abrain said, “Being the first of its kind, the ITER Fusion Reactor has given our best capabilities to our best capabilities Launched. To make us the challenges involved, to create new global benchmarks and to remove logistic barricles to develop module fabrication technologies.
Mr. Parab said that L&T has given the world’s largest and most complex stainless-steel high-vacum pressure vessel in this largest science project about two years before the project schedule, called Cryostat. The cryostat is an impressive measuring measuring 30 meters in diameter and Hazira includes 54 modules manufactured in L&T’s AM Naik Heavy Engineering Complex.
All life on Earth is continuous due to only a large atom reactor – the sun. This is a natural fusion energy and life on Earth would be impossible if solar energy has come to a stop.
The reactor is expected to cost more than 22 billion euros. The mega endeavor fusion is to demonstrate the first stages for energy harvesting that is to generate energy by fusing atoms. Traditional nuclear power works by dividing atoms and it generates long -lasting radioactive waste. But waste products are a benign helium gas by fusing hydrogen and its sisters. The Sun generates its energy by fusing atoms and today when climate change is affecting us, the discovery of clean, carbon -free sources of energy is more important than ever. But the sun is easy to make, which is done.
Seven fellow nations are now cooperatively making mini sun. These countries are USA, Russia, South Korea, Japan, China, India and European Union (EU). Since a large -scale reactor is being built in Cadarachars in Europe, 45 percent of the cost of building European Union is taking care of, the rest of the members are sharing 9.1 percent cost in each.
There are more than one lakh different parts that will be obtained from more than 45 countries and now it is estimated that by 2035 the ITER machine will be ready for its first full experimental run. Currently, the iter project is following the schedule.
