ITER in Pictures

Ring coils progress

Two final ring-shaped poloidal field (PF) coils are taking shape in the European Domestic Agency's fabrication workshop on the ITER site. PF4 has completed cold testing and will soon reemerge from a tailor-made vacuum chamber (foreground). The resin-impregnated superconducting winding pack for PF3 (background) is ready for clamps, protection covers and helium inlet pipes.

Robot Games 2023

500 students (and 100 teachers) take part in the 2023 ITER Robots challenge, now supported as a months-long, school-based educational challenge by the French Ministry of Education. On 23 May, the final competition tests participants in three ways—the execution of ITER-like remote handling tasks with their team-designed and team-programmed robots, their capacity to communicate about their projects, and their knowledge of the ITER Project.

Preparing for repair work

The same tools that were used for assembling the vacuum vessel sector modules from 1 sector, 2 toroidal field coils and thermal shield panels, is now being used for disassembly. In this photo, two toroidal field coils are temporarily held after disassembly on the wings of vertical tool SSAT-2.

Beginning to re-centralize control stations

Since 2018, small control rooms around the site have been established to support local testing and commissioning of plant equipment. With the opening of the temporary main control room (T-MCR) in late 2022 (https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3845), some of these distributed functions are being brough back in and centralized (https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3880).

Coordination is the key

Success was achieved through the close collaboration the ITER Organization, global logistics provider DAHER, and transport platform operator Mammoet. The company Cegelec played an important role in designing systems and processes to synchronize the movements of the six individual transport platforms, and risk manager Apave was responsible for the overall safety of the transfer.
