Download Original The Assembly Building From left to right, the Cleaning Facility, the Assembly Building (where two subassembly tools stand ready to suspend the vacuum vessel sectors) and the Tokamak Building. Image credit: ITER Organization Download Original The sub-assembly of the nine vacuum vessel sectors The ITER "toolkit" for assembly will include very large, heavy, strong, expensive and precise tools. Image credit: ITER Organization Download Original The four sections of the cryostat Due to its size and weight, the Cryostat will be manufactured in segments and sub-assembled into four sections on the ITER site.
