This is Episode 5, Season 3 on "Behind the Science of ITER"

This episode, All About Nothing, takes you to a live conversation with ITER vacuum engineers Robert Pearce and Liam Worth.

Julia Ponomareva joins host Kruti Mawani Fayot to learn how science fiction has inspired real engineering, what the everyday engineering challenges surrounding plasma, inspection, vacuum systems and cryogenics are.

You’ll also hear about inspection, cleaning, coconuts (yes, really, coconuts), spin-off applications, and how lessons from past experiments are shaping ITER’s vacuum engineering and paving the way for future fusion machines.

Tune into Episode 5 of Behind the Science of Fusion for the good humor, insights and the peek behind the curtain of one of fusion’s most fascinating challenges.
