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. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
