Construction

See the progress of the ITER site

With more than 160 engineers together with 140 workers on the ground and counting more than six months of blasting and drilling, construction on the ITER site has taken off!

Given the increasing volume of requests for photos, we have decided to document the pace of change on a monthly basis.

We have launched today a new section in our image gallery called ITER site 2010 where you can get a glimpse of the best pictures over the last year of the PF coils building, the excavation of the Tokamak building and the construction of the ITER Headquarters.

For those eager to see the blasts happening in action and curious enough to dig more in the site, we have uploaded new clips in our multimedia section and on top of that new clips on the buildings of the ITER site, the Vacuum Vessel and the way the ITER machine works.

Take a look and let us know what you think at press@f4e.europa.eu
