Remarks

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress towards this ultimate goal. The realisation of the ITER project therefore lies at the heart of the present Union strategy. It must be accompanied by a strong and focused European research and development programme to prepare for the exploitation of ITER and to develop the technologies and knowledge base that will be needed during ITER operation and beyond.

Remarks

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress towards this ultimate goal. To this end, the European Organisation for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy, in the form of a Joint Undertaking was established. This European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy (Fusion for Energy) has the following tasks:

(a) to provide the contribution of Euratom to the ITER International Fusion Energy Organization;

(b) to provide the contribution of Euratom to broader approach activities with Japan for the rapid realisation of fusion energy;

(c) to implement a programme of activities in preparation for the construction of a demonstration fusion reactor and related facilities including the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF).
