3 ms·Why doesn't ITER use the better superconductors?by UltraSane 2y agoWhy doesn't ITER use the better superconductors?DennisP 2y agoBecause they completed the initial design in 2001, and broke ground in 2007. The superconductors became available in the early 2010s.UltraSane 2y agoThey should have redesigned it.
