Coping with COVID-19

Beginning 16 March 2020, the ITER Organization adjusts the organization of its work in order to respect all precautionary measures recommended by the World Health Organization and the French government in the face of the dramatic worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus. The focus is on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of ITER staff and collaborators while maintaining critical activities. All non-essential staff is teleworking.

Europe completes D-shaped toroidal field coil

A major industrial milestone has been reached in Europe—the completion of a 320-tonne D-shaped toroidal field coil for the ITER Tokamak. This first-of-a-kind magnet, one of 10 that will be supplied by Europe, will leave the port of Marghera (Venice, Italy) on 11 March for a one-week sea voyage to France.

Art embedded in ITER

A work of art has been embedded anonymously in the frame of the Tokamak Building crane hall. "Sans titre," by American sculptor Christine Corday, seeks to create a permanent presence of Art in the vast scientific project that is ITER—not "decoration" but "a contributing and sustained presence."

Final crane path tests

Totalling approximately 1,000 tonnes, these loads are travelling the way of future ITER components, and permitting the European Domestic Agency to validate ITER Council milestone #50, for crane access in the newly completed Tokamak Building.

First crane access to Tokamak Building

Crane access over the Tokamak pit becomes possible on 28 March 2020, as the ITER Organization, the European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy, and contractors validate the full crane path—from the Assembly Hall through the entire length of the Tokamak Building—under load. Machine assembly can begin.

Testing the path before the real loads

Totaling approximately 1,000 tonnes, the mock loads are ready to undertake their 170-metre-long journey from the entrance of the Assembly Hall all the way to the opposite end of the newly created crane hall. Testing the load path, and carefully monitoring building inflection as the loads go by, are part of the last commissioning activities before machine assembly.
