Large and powerful negative hydrogen ion sources (Hˉ, Dˉ) will be used in ITER,the world's largest fusion experiment, to deliver, after acceleration andneutralization, energetic neutral particles (H, D) to the tokamak. These beams areessential for heating and current drive of the ITER plasma and are therefore crucialto fulfilling the ITER mission, namely to demonstrate the scientific andtechnological feasibility of fusion energy with the aim of achieving a tenfoldincrease in power. The development progress and challenges for the negativehydrogen ion sources within the European step-ladder approach will be presented,starting with a brief introduction on the ITER project.
