The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Date has moved, per the source: ITER "will start scientific operation in 2034," after the original plan "envisaged first plasma as early as 2025."
Physics World confirms ITER's first operations were pushed to 2034 - a "massive decade-long delay" - after the original plan "envisaged first plasma as early as 2025," directly matching the pin's stored date and title.
World Nuclear News' coverage of ITER's schedule review confirms the original 2025 first-plasma target was abandoned due to COVID-19 disruption, though this particular article discusses the review process itself rather than stating the pin's specific 2034 date, which the companion Physics World[2] reference (940) confirms directly.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
Westinghouse announced the launch of a small version of its flagship AP1000 nuclear reactor on Thursday.
The new reactor, called the AP300, aims to be available in 2027, and will generate about a third of the power as the flagship AP1000 reactor, enough to power about 300,000 homes.
It’s expected to cost about $1 billion to set up each plant, a small fraction of the expense of the full AP1000.
