A barge with the poloidal field coil #1 (PF1) designed for plasma confinement in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) machine is seen before moving to the ITER site in France, at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard in St. Petersburg, Russia. ITER project members China, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States are building a doughnut-shaped device called a tokamak in Saint-Paul-les-Durance in southern France. It is billed as the world's largest science project. The aim is to trap hydrogen that's been heated to 150 million degrees Celsius (270 million Fahrenheit) for long enough to allow atoms to fuse together.
