TOPSHOT - The Russian-made poloidal field coil number 1 (PF1) - nine meters in diameter and weighing 200 tons, one of six poloidal field coils in the magnetic system that will serve to confine plasma in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) vacuum vessel, sits on a barge during a ceremony to send the coil to the ITER construction site in southern France, in Saint Petersburg on November 1, 2022. Thirty-five nations are collaborating in the ITER energy project aimed at mastering energy production from hydrogen fusion, as in the heart of the sun, a potential new source of carbon-free and non-polluting energy.
