Q87 (IAS/2008) Geography › Maps & Locations › Institutions and research centres Answer Verified

In which of the following locations is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project to be built?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The ITER project was awarded to a site in southern France. ITER Members unanimously agreed in 2005 to locate the installation at the European-proposed site near Cadarache, and detailed site studies showed the 180-hectare location met the necessary geological, hydrological, seismic and utility requirements; the CEA Cadarache research centre provided land and support for the project [1]. Historical accounts of the selection process likewise state the installation would be built near Aix-en-Provence in southern France following the Members’ decision in 2005 [2]. Therefore, the correct choice is Southern France.
