India also mentioned about its fair share in terms of its in-kind contributions, viz., the cryostat, cryogenic and cryo-distribution systems, auxiliary heating devices, multi megawatt power supplies, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ITER cryostat is manufactured by India (Larsen and Tourbo). Cryostat is a chamber that can maintain very low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the largest stainless steel high-vacuum pressure chamber ever built (16,000 m3) providing the high vacuum, ultra cool environment for the ITER vacuum vessel and the superconducting magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The target for the first plasma is 2025. At extreme temperatures, electrons are separated from nuclei and a gas becomes a plasma\u2014an ionized state of matter similar to a gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ITER members include China, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the ITER Agreement (2006), the above mentioned seven members will share the cost of project construction, operation and decommissioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also share the experimental results and any intellectual property generated by the fabrication, construction and operation phases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
