German television visits ITER

The German television station ZDF visited ITER on 25 February, spending a full day on site. The crew filmed the manoeuvring and installation of the four-tonne blanket prototype now standing in front of ITER Headquarters, before moving on to the ITER platform, where they interviewed Principal Deputy Director-General Norbert Holtkamp. Later in the afternoon, the crew set up their cameras in the ITER Design Office, and received an update on progress toward construction. The 30-minute documentary on fusion and ITER will air on German television this month. The exact date will be posted in Newsline as soon as it is known.
