Visiting ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, Saint-Paul-Ies-Durance, France) - Jan. 2025

Prof. Jo visited ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) as the leader of the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) Engineering Department’s job-commissioned training program. ITER is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering project aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of fusion energy as a large-scale and carbon-free source of power. It is one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world, involving 35 countries working together to build the world’s largest tokamak, a magnetic confinement device designed to prove the viability of nuclear fusion as an energy source. During the site visit to ITER, Prof. Jo toured the Tokamak facility currently under construction and attended a speech on ITER’s development plans and vision.

Happy Birth Day Prof. Jo !!
