From 25 November to 27 November next, KIVI-NT in collaboration with the NNS is organising a technical visit to CEA and ITER, this unique opportunity unexpectedly presented itself at short notice, and was so special that we did not want to let it pass.

About CEA: CEA Cadarache is one of Europe's largest nuclear and renewable energy research centres. Located in southern France, the centre houses advanced facilities for research on nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, new energy technologies and nuclear plant safety. CEA plays a key role in the development of innovative energy solutions and is closely involved in international projects such as ITER. During the visit, participants will have a unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and scientific research contributing to the energy transition.

About ITER: ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is one of the largest and most ambitious energy projects in the world. It is an international collaboration aimed at developing nuclear fusion as a sustainable and safe source of energy. Built in southern France, ITER aims to demonstrate that fusion - the process that powers the sun - is technically and economically feasible on Earth. During the visit, participants will get a unique insight into advanced technologies, international cooperation and the future of energy production.

A good physical condition is required for this technical visit. The trip includes longer walks, stairs and possibly wearing personal protective equipment. We recommend comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes.
