Building the feeders, segment by segment

This cryostat feedthrough is one of two feeder components introduced into the basement of the Tokamak Complex on 14 April. Called the STR3 feedthrough, it will supply supercritical helium at 4.5 K to the toroidal field coil cases and other coil structures (central solenoid, correction coils).

Reactive power compensation: site acceptance tests

Protected by fire-resistant work wear, headpiece and face shield, this ITER electrical engineer is testing one of the 8-metre-tall thyristor-controlled reactors that is part of the reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering system. Site acceptance tests of all system equipment on arrival from China ensures a no-default situation despite the long journey and subsequent handling.

Europe completes poloidal field coil #5

Three and a half years after fabrication begin on poloidal field coil #5 (PF5), the European Domestic Agency transfers the completed coil to the ITER Organization. PF5 is the first of four poloidal field coils to be produced by European contractors on site at ITER (to be followed by PF2, PF4 and PF3).
