Dear Franz,



Others may have even more recent information than this, but here's is what I

can FW :



NUCLEAR NEWS FLASHES - Wednesday, November 10, 2004



INTERNATIONAL:



--NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE ITER ENDED TUESDAY WITH NO DECISION about which



country will host the nuclear fusion project. But negotiators from the U.S.,



Japan, South Korea, China, the European Union (EU) and the Russian



Federation are expected to meet in Moscow in December to resume talks about



the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), said Stephen



Dean, president of Fusion Power Associates, a Gaithersburg, Md.-based non-



project research and educational foundation focused on the development of



nuclear fusion. ITER participants met this week at IAEA headquarters in



Vienna. Negotiators are split on where to build the reactor. The U.S., Japan



and South Korea favor a site in Rokkashomura, Japan; the EU, Russia and



China prefer a site in Cadarache, France.





.....as someone joked a while back, ITER should be built in orbit because,

as we can see from the International Space Station project, at least there

was no protracted debate about which country should host it.
