international thermonuclear experimental reactor

基本解釋

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor became plain ITER following public anxiety about anything that has “thermonuclear” next to “experimental” in its name.
因為公眾對在“熱核聚變”旁邊帶有“實驗”字眼的任何東西都感到恐慌，這座“國際熱核聚變實驗反應堆”后來被縮寫為其貌不揚的ITER。
Called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), it will cost some $5 billion to build, $5 billion to run for 20 years and a further $1 billion to decommission.
這一項目稱為國際熱核實驗堆（International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor），將需要50億美元的建設費，50億美元運行20年的運行費以及另外10億美元退役的費用。
ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a planning international Tokamak reactor designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the full dimensions controlled nuclear fusion technology.
（國際熱核聚變實驗實驗堆）是規(guī)劃建設中的一個為驗證全尺寸可控核聚變技術的可行性而設計的國際托卡馬克實驗堆。

The Joint European Torus (JET) is located in Britain, which is the largest such facility in the world and may be regarded as a prototype for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) based in France.
