Our ever-changing worksite
13 Nov 2013
110 metres long, 44 metres wide and 27 meters tall—the Cryostat Workshop will house the on-site assembly of the four main sections of the ITER cryostat from 54 smaller segments manufactured in India.
The capacity of the ITER Headquarters building will be increased in 2014. Foundation pouring will start in November for the 3,500 m² Headquarters extension, after which the five-storey structure will begin to rise at a rate of approximately one level every three weeks.
Many other activities are underway on our ever-changing worksite. See the gallery below for more details.

2013-11-06 - Workers are completing the installation of 1,600 embedded plates before concrete pouring activities can begin in the Tokamak Complex Seismic Pit. These plates will provide extremely robust anchorage for the devices that need to be attached to the walls, floors or ceilings of the buildings.
