A joint project between 35 nations, the ITER (formerly known as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), is currently under construction in France.

一项由 35 个国家参与的 ITER 国际热核聚变实验堆计划近期在法国开展。

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor will be the first fusion device to test the integrated technologies and materials necessary for the commercial production of fusion-based electricity.

国际热核聚变实验堆项目将是首个测试聚变电能商业生产所需集成技术和材料的聚变装置。

Meanwhile, 35 countries are collaborating around the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, which is being carried out in France.

与此同时，35个国家正在围绕在法国进行的国际热核实验反应堆进行合作。

It’s called ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, and it will weigh 23 thousand tons, and take up about 60 soccer fields worth of space in southern France.

它叫做 ITER， 即国际热核实验反应堆， 重达 2.3 万吨，占法国南部约 60 个足球场的面积。
