ITER's declared target date for the start of deuterium-tritium operation

Assembled from 36 blocks · 1 evidence · 29 related

1. Story
2. Under the baseline update presented in June 2024, the start of deuterium-tritium operation at ITER is a stated programme target of 2039, four years later than the 2016 reference baseline, with the start of research operations targeted for 2034 and full magnetic energy for 2036. This record exists to hold a declared target, not a forecast. ITER's dates have moved more than once and this Journey makes no claim about whether they will move again or be met.
