Iter

© SchirraGiraldi (Manuela Schirra and Fabrizio Giraldi)


ITER is the the world's largest and most powerful experiment of nuclear fusion. It should be the machine capable of finally demonstrating that fusion power plants are truly achievable. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, in short ITER, should help us solve the energy and climate problems for the next generation.

The studies on nuclear fusion began in the 1920s, ITER was designed more than 30 years ago and it involves 35 nations including China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States. Its ultimate goal is to do what no fusion experiment has done before: produce more heat than it consumes.


The nuclear fusion is the reaction that powers the stars and is a process which some scientists claim could safely power the world without producing radioactive waste. The concept is recreate the power of the Sun by building a star on Earth. It mean 840 cubic meters of plasma at 150 million °C – 10 times the sun degrees. Construction is over 70%.

InstituteTM (collectively Institute Pictures, Institute Studios, & Institute Artist) is redefining how stories are produced and told in the 21st Century. Founded by Producer Frank Evers and Director/Visual Artist Lauren Greenfield, we are a multiplatform production company representing auteur-driven storytellers across commercials, photography, fine art, film, and technology — and producing original work across every screen that those stories live on. Our multiplatform expertise and established global relationships in entertainment, commercial, fine art, and journalism create unmatched reach and cross-pollination of creative work.

Institute was built this way from the ground up.
