Central Solenoid complete — world's most powerful pulsed magnet

ITER / General Atomics — The 13-tesla, ~1,000-tonne Central Solenoid — the 'beating heart' built by General Atomics to drive ITER's plasma current — is complete and delivered to the site. A key assembly milestone toward first plasma (2034); the full pulsed-magnet system was ~15 years in the making.
