Cryostat segments afloat

9 Nov 2015

The "Industrial Hedland" is on its way to France with 460 tonnes of ITER cryostat segments on board. The ship left Hazira Port in India on Friday 6 November carrying tier 1 of the cryostat base, including six sandwich segments (each weighing about 50 tonnes) and six main shell segments (each weighing about 19 tonnes). The entire cryostat base (tier 1 plus tier 2) will be the heaviest component of ITER machine assembly (1,250 tonnes in all). The cryostat segments are expected to reach the Mediterranean port of Fos-Sur-Mer by the end of November.
