Iter and 7-X are both publicly funded research in confinement fusion with different topologies. 90% of the basic research Iter does can be switched to 7-X if it turns out to be more successful topology. Among other things, Iter develpes technologies and processes needed for a fusion power station, something 7-X is not even touching.
