Bimetal "pedestals" from Russia

The Dollezhal Institute (NIKIET) in Moscow has shipped a batch of bimetal "pedestals" to ITER. Attached to the inner wall of the vacuum vessel, they will support blanket electrical connectors and act as low-impedance electrical bridges between blanket modules and the vacuum vessel. Approximately 1,000 are required in all.

27th ITER Council: major project achievements despite COVID-19

The 27th ITER Council is convened (virtually) from 18 to 19 November 2020 by Council Chair LUO Delong. Members note the continued robust performance of the ITER Project—including component deliveries and assembly progress on site—despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Some impacts on the schedule have been identified and will be thoroughly assessed after the consideration of all mitigation measures.

By zone

From above, we have a clear view of the different work zones of the Assembly Hall. The component the furthest from the Tokamak pit (the lower cylinder thermal shield, top) will be the next one installed.

The cryoplant's "cryogenic termination cold box"

ITER technical responsible officer Hyun Sik Chang (right) and a technician from the Swiss company Linde Kryotechnik AG, perform the cleanliness check protocol on the multiprocess cryolines of the cryogenic termination cold box. This box collects the cooling fluids from the cryoplant and redirects them to the Tokamak Building over an elevated bridge.

Two important roles

The cryogenic termination cold box has two roles: collecting and distributing cryogenic fluids produced in the cryoplant to the Tokamak Building, and warming up the fluids when it's time to bring clients back to room temperature for maintenance. Pictured: David Grillot, the head of ITER Cryogenic System Section.

A new tool arrives from Korea

The "sector lifting tool" is one of the interfacing components between the heavy lift cranes and some of the heaviest ITER components. The tool is equipped to perform horizontal-plane adjustments along the X and Y axis (longitudinal and transverse) in order to balance the loads before each lift.
