Staff at ITER – the world’s biggest fusion experiment – are coming to terms with the death of their director general Bernard Bigot, who died on 14 May at the age of 72 from an unspecified illness. Bigot took over as head of ITER in March 2015 and was almost halfway through his second term as ITER boss, which would have ended in 2025. Bigot’s deputy – Eisuke Tada – has taken over leadership of the France-based fusion project while the ITER Council searches for a long-term successor to Bigot.
