Defects found in two key components of ITER's tokamak

[Marlin]

It seems to me that ITER is already a dinosaur. Advances in fusion have been happening since the start of the project and in smaller cheaper versions. Will fusion ever happen? I don't know but then "if man were meant to fly, he would have wings." The schedule below is being revised and will not be announced until 2023.

2006              Signature of the ITER Agreement
2007-2009     Land clearing and levelling
2010-2014     Ground support structure and seismic foundations for the Tokamak
2014-2021     Construction of the Tokamak Building (access for first assembly activities in 2018)
2010-2021     Construction of the ITER plant and auxiliary buildings for First Plasma
2020-2025     Main assembly phase 1
Dec 2025       First Plasma (2016 Baseline schedule, update underway)
