ITER completes key magnet part for nuclear fusion

The final component of the world's most powerful magnet has been completed for the ITER nuclear fusion reactor, marking a significant milestone. This magnet, part of the ITER project, will generate a magnetic field 280,000 times stronger than Earth's, crucial for containing plasma at extreme temperatures. The completed component is a module of the central solenoid, a key part of the reactor's magnetic system. ITER aims to harness nuclear fusion for clean energy, but the project has faced delays and cost overruns, with first plasma production now expected no earlier than 2033.
