Task Title: INT.26.W2.CP- Fracture mechanics and buckling evaluation internship for the Vacuum Vessel

Application Deadline: 28/02/2026

Department: ITER Construction Project

Division / Program: Tokamak Program 

Section / Project: VV Delivery, Repair & Welding Project 

Duration (in months): 6 Months

Location: France, 13067 St Paul Lez Durance Cedex

Short Description: This internship will be focused on getting acquainted with the Structural Analysis (via Finite Element Method) of the Vacuum Vessel, in particular with the topics of fracture mechanics and buckling evaluation.

Description of tasks:

Task 1: Get acquainted with the Structural analysis methodology applied for the fracture mechanics evaluation and for the buckling evaluation used for the Vacuum Vessel.
Task 2: Based on the existing models and results, collect the input data to perform the fracture mechanics evaluation for the Port Splice plate areas as well as the inboard Field joint buckling.
Task 3: Contribute to the fracture mechanics evaluation for the Splice Plates of the Vacuum Vessel Ports.
Task 4: Contribute to the buckling and instability evaluation for the Inboard Field Joint area of the Vacuum Vessel.

The ITER Organization offers internship opportunities to undergraduate and postgraduate students with the objective of providing these students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in their field of study, whilst collaborating in an international, scientific and multicultural environment.  Internships are offered for up to six months, extendable for up to one year (depending on the category).  To find out more about our internship program, please refer to our website (click here)

For any further questions, please contact

Internship opportunities are limited to nationals from countries participating in the ITER Project (China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russian Federation, and the United States). Their Universities should be also established in the territories of the ITER Members.

 

Please also note that interns are not considered staff members and shall, therefore, not have the status of "Staff" as per the ITER Agreement and the Headquarters Agreement (see more information on these constitutive agreements in Legal Resources).  Neither the ITER Staff Regulations nor the privileges and immunities granted to ITER Organization staff are applicable to interns.  The ITER Organization salary, pension scheme, and social insurance coverage do also not apply.
