Fifth central solenoid module reaches ITER
30 Jun 2025
It took approximately one month for this central solenoid module to travel from the port of Houston, Texas, to the ITER site in southern France.
A fifth and penultimate central solenoid module travelled along the ITER itinerary during the last week of June, arriving on the worksite early in the morning on Friday 26 June. Only one more module is necessary to complete the central solenoid stack at ITER, and it is already en route after tests were completed at US ITER supplier General Atomics.
The 110-tonne module arrives at ITER outside of the warehouse where it will be stored until needed by the central solenoid assembly team.
