See the progress of the ITER site

This month we are releasing new images from the PF Coils building and the Tokamak complex.

With respect to the PF Coils building, the construction of the inner layers of the antirust cladding is on track together with metal sheeting and Rockwool insulation.

The assembly of peripheral slabs and the realisation of the underground networks are also moving ahead.

The excavation of the Tokamak is completed, with the removal of around 200 000 m³ of rock.

The construction of the lower basement is expected to kick off in June.

The entire pit has been covered by a steel safety mesh, which has been installed on the rock slopes to create a safe working environment.

Meanwhile, the testing of the two batching plants, that will produce concrete for the lower basemat and the retaining wall of the Tokamak, has been successfully conducted.

As far as the geologic analysis of the Tokamak pit is concerned, the cleaning process of the pit and treatment of joints have been completed.

Two new clips have been added in our multimedia section offering an overview of the progress on the ITER site. The clips will guide you through the construction of the PF coils building and the Tokamak complex.
