The United States` participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) began in later 1987 when the initiative to start a cooperative program among the four Parties -- the Soviet Union, Japan, the European Community, and the United States -- was initiated. Participation then continued through the start of Joint Work in May 1988 until the conclusion of the Conceptual Design Activities (CDA) in December 1990. In the period between the conclusion of the CDA and the agreement to execute the Engineering Design Activities (EDA), the US ITER Home Team continued to do work on the design, executed additional research and development, and participated in the preparations for the EDA. Activities included one major design study on a High-Aspect-Ratio Design and input to the National ITER Technical Review, the ITER Steering Committee -- US, Special Working Group 1, and the Fusion Energy Advisory Committee`s Panel 1. Research and development was continued in areas of work that were identified as critical-path elements by an international panel chartered by the four ITER Parties near the end of the CDA. I will describe the conclusion of the CDA and the interim US ITER activities and will give an indication of our involvement in the EDA.
