The Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP) under the CAS Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences, a Chinese partner in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Program, is going to establish an international experimental zone for thermonuclear fusion up to 13 hectares. At present the work on land acquisition has been completed.

As one of the seven collaborators of ITER, China will make 10 percent of the total investment of 4.6 billion euros, which could be fulfilled by providing such things as related parts and components needed for the reactor.

ASIPP will undertake a considerable amount of the task on the component research and development, concerning such technologies as superconducting, high-capacity power supply, and remote sensing. Many of them are core projects of ITER program. The experimental zone will be the site of research and testing as well as a base for international exchanges of thermonuclear fusion research.
