On Saturday 20 October 2018 the ITER Organization—in collaboration with the European agency for ITER, Fusion for Energy, Agence Iter France and Les Petits Débrouillards—will open its doors to the public.
For this 13th edition, members of the public will have the opportunity to access the heart of ITER construction: the ITER bioshield. This massive structure, towering 30 metres overhead, encloses the area that will be occupied by the ITER machine. Visitors will be able to view the latest realization—the concrete “crown” that will support the machine from below—and see where the first machine component will be installed before the end of the year.
The tour will also include a visit to one of the manufacturing facilities on site, where activities are in full swing on a 17-metre-in-diametre coil called PF5 (poloidal field coil #5).
Visits will take place between 09:00 a.m. and 17:00 p.m. as follows:
- Visits in English from 09:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
- Visits in French from 11:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m.
When you arrive at ITER Headquarters in Saint Paul-lez-Durance, park your car in the parking lot for visitors. Shuttle buses running approximately every 15 minutes will take you to the worksite canteen on the ITER platform where slideshows and exhibit materials will be available. In this canteen you will also be able to buy refreshments and snacks.
From there, it’s only a short walk to the revamped Visitors Centre, where interactive displays, mock-ups of the ITER machine and construction site, and videos on various aspects of the project will be on offer. ITER ambassadors will be available to answer your questions throughout the day.
Buses leaving the worksite canteen approximately every 30 minutes will take you on a one-hour tour of the construction site, with two stops as mentioned above. We will provide mandatory safety equipment for all participants (hard hats and visitor vests).Visitors should be appropriately dressed for the worksite tour—flat, closed shoes and no skirts, shorts, or dresses.
At the end of your tour of the worksite, the buses will return you to your cars in the visitor parking lot.
The ITER team is looking forward to meeting you on this special occasion!
