ITER in Pictures

Europe advances vacuum vessel fabrication, despite the coronavirus

Europe is manufacturing five out of the nine ITER vacuum vessel sectors; the first European sector—S#5 —is nearly 80% complete. Construction activities have been rearranged and prioritized in line with safety protocols in the context of the coronavirus.

Thanking local partners

The commitment of local French authorities and elected representatives (past and present) has been critical to ITER's genesis and progress. A concrete example—the creation of a specially adapted Itinerary for the transport of ITER components—was celebrated in the presence of a small number of guests on the day a 400-tonne magnet arrived in 26 June. "The ITER Itinerary is the vital artery that connects the ITER site to the factories, workshops and laboratories on three continents where machine components and plant systems are being manufactured. It is the project's lifeline."

Top lid elements, ready to ship

In India, Larsen & Toubro has finalized all of the elements of the top lid (12 triangular segments plus a central disk). The segments will soon ship to ITER for assembly in the Cryostat Workshop.

46 rather particular doors

Installed all around the tokamak machine at three levels, these port cell doors double in weight (from 30 to 60 tonnes) when filled with dense, neutron-blocking concrete. The last of 46 doors was installed in June by European Domestic Agency contractors.

Winding station set up

Les stations de travail qui ont servi à la fabrication des bobines PF5 et PF2 sont en cours d'élargissement (de 17 à 24 mètres de diamètre) pour les deux prochaines bobines. La station de bobinage sur la photo tournera bientôt de nouveau pour créer les bobinages de PF4.
