Sector module #6 installed in pit
2025-06-18 - The second of nine modules required to form the ITER plasma chamber is installed in the tokamak assembly pit on 17-18 June 2025. Sector modules #7 and #6 are now side by side in the pit, with 15 cm between them.

Sector module #7 installed in pit
2025-04-10 - The first of nine modules required to form the ITER plasma chamber is installed in the tokamak assembly pit on 10 April. Sector module #7 was created from one vacuum vessel sector, its thermal shield and two toroidal field coils in 6 months and 10 days; for reference, the first time this sub-assembly operation was carried out it took 18 months to accomplish.

First sector module completed post-repair
2025-03-28 - Sector module #7 is the first to be finalized, a litte ahead of schedule, after vacuum vessel sub-assembly restarted in September 2024. It will be lowered into the tokamak pit in April, the first of nine modules required to form the ITER plasma chamber.
