All aboard? The geometrical lines of B2 slab reinforcement seem to be an invitation to hop on a train ...

Platform progress is visible from above: in April 2009 the platform was as flat as a billiard table ... today two buildings are completed, the electrical switchyard is in place, and the footprint of the Assembly Building, Tokamak Complex and Hot Cell clearly stand out. ©M.Postollec, O.Gillain - Engage

The installation of the deepest on-site networks, including precipitation drainage and cooling water release, will be completed in July after more than one year of work.

The recently completed ITER Headquarters is seen against a backdrop of spring clouds. Approximately five hundred people now work from this building, whereas another 350 collaborators have offices a short distance away in Buildings 81 and 82.

On the completed Assembly Building basemat the footprints of three large assembly tools are visible. Here anchor plates will provide the interface between the tools and the concrete basemat.

Some 4,000 tons of rebar will reinforce the B2 slab of the Tokamak Complex. Workers are currently positioning the first layers.
