A fast-growing family

Today, Monday, 17 November, the ITER staff gathered once more for an all-staff-meeting in the Salle Polyvalente where Director-General Kaname Ikeda gave an update on the project's status. Prior to that meeting, all the staff gathered outside the Joint Worksite I for a family photo. And the family is definitely growing fast: on 8 February this year, the ITER team counted 219 staff members plus subcontractors and visiting scientists. Nine month later, we count a total of 293 directly employed staff, including 217 professional and 76 technical support staff, plus subcontractors.
