The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project is a collaboration among four parties, the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and the European Communities, to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power for peaceful purposes. ITER will demonstrate this through the construction of a tokamak fusion reactor capable of generating 1000 megawatts of fusion power. The ITER project has three missions, as follows: (1) Physics mission -- to demonstrate ignition and controlled burn, with pulse durations from 200 to 1000 S; (2) Technology mission -- to demonstrate the technologies essential to a reactor in an integrated system, operating with high reliability and availability in pulsed operation, with steady-state operation as the ultimate goal; and (3) Testing mission -- to test nuclear and high-heat-flux components at flux levels for 1 mw/m{sup 2}, and fluences of order 1 mw-yr/m{sup 2}.
