international thermonuclear experimental reactor

基本解释

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor became plain ITER following public anxiety about anything that has “thermonuclear” next to “experimental” in its name.
因为公众对在“热核聚变”旁边带有“实验”字眼的任何东西都感到恐慌，这座“国际热核聚变实验反应堆”后来被缩写为其貌不扬的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.
这一项目称为国际热核实验堆（International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor），将需要50亿美元的建设费，50亿美元运行20年的运行费以及另外10亿美元退役的费用。
ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a planning international Tokamak reactor designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the full dimensions controlled nuclear fusion technology.
（国际热核聚变实验实验堆）是规划建设中的一个为验证全尺寸可控核聚变技术的可行性而设计的国际托卡马克实验堆。

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.
