Who participates?
Seven international parties participate in the ITER project: China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States. Collectively the parties taking part in the ITER project represent over one half of the world’s population and represent 80% of the global GDP. The ITER Agreement is open for accession or cooperation with other countries that have demonstrated a capacity for specific technologies and knowledge and are ready to contribute to the project.
The ITER project:

ITER, meaning “the way” in Latin, is a major international experiment aiming to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion as an energy source.
