A seven-member international consortium signed a formal agreement on Tuesday to build a multibillion-dollar experimental nuclear fusion reactor that will emulate the nuclear processes of the Sun.

Representatives from China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States signed the pact, sealing a decade of negotiations.
The $12.8 billion (€10 billion) reactor will be built in Cadarache, southern France, over the course of a decade, starting in 2008. Originally called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, the facility is now known officially by its initials ITER (meaning "the way" in Latin).
