Tricky reflections
6 Nov 2023
Ahead of repairs, sector module #6, which was extracted from the Tokamak pit in early July, is being dismantled in one of the twin sub-assembly tools. One toroidal field coil has already been removed and placed into storage, the other is still attached to the tool's open wing.
Removal of the thermal shield panels has not started yet. Newsline caught this image as light and reflections play tricks on the component's silver-plated surface—making the huge sector look fleetingly as if it had been equipped with the winged shoes of the Roman god Mercury.
