The 180-hectare ITER site is located near Saint-Paul-lez-Durance in southern France. At its centre is a 42-hectare level platform approximately 1 kilometre long and 400 metres wide, accommodating the Tokamak Complex and the numerous technical buildings and systems required for ITER operation. Together, they form the infrastructure for the world’s largest experimental fusion device.
