Barcelona meeting gathers Europe's top fusion energy scientists and experts
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In Barcelona, European companies were updated on the international ITER Fusion Energy Project, which will allow companies to participate in its research and innovations.
During the ITER-project, the European industrial companies that will construct the European part of the ITER-device will use high-tech know-how developed in fusion research institutions around Europe.
It is expected that a lot of technological innovation will result from the exploitation of this knowledge, which opens many opportunities for high-tech companies to participate fruitfully to the project.
The workshop, which includes a fusion industry exhibition, offers a practical possibility for industrial parties to meet fusion experts from ITER and the European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA), and --to get involved in the construction of the project.
An Industry Suppliers Database, to which interested companies are encouraged to register, was officially presented at this occasion.
The realisation of ITER will be a major step towards the creation of prototype reactors for power plants which are safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible and economically viable.
The construction costs of ITER are estimated at 4.7 billion Euro over 10 years, a large part of which will be awarded in the form of contracts to industrial companies and fusion research institutions.

www.JimSokolove.com During a meeting held in Korea on the 6th of December, the ITER-Parties reached agreement on the main elements of the International Agreement for ITER, including the sharing of the in-kind contributions to the project between the different Parties.
During the same meeting, India joined the project as a full partner, which means that now over half the global population is represented in the ITER project.
In June this year the ITER-Parties decided that ITER should be located on the site proposed by the EU at Cadarache in the south of France.
Around half of the hardware in the construction programme will be supplied by Europe through a European Domestic Agency, which will be, amongst other things, responsible for the supply of the European contribution to ITER and for the co-ordination of related R&D.
