On 11 May, the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) announced that the first batches of the gas injection system for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) had been delivered and shipped to the ITER construction site in France. The system was designed and manufactured by SWIP.

The ITER gas injection system is critical for nuclear safety. Its primary function is to supply fuel for plasma operation, neutral beam injection and pellet fueling systems, as well as delivering various working gases, including helium, neon and nitrogen. The system also performs nuclear safety functions, such as radiative cooling of the divertor and emergency shutdown.
