Looking northwest across the site in April: in the foreground, on-site assembly facilities for the poloidal field coils (left) and the cryostat (right); in the distance, ITER Headquarters is growing by 35 metres to the left; and in the centre, three cranes indicate the location where work is advancing on the foundations for the Tokamak Complex.
Eleven segments to a completed basemat
The Tokamak Complex basemat will be poured in fifteen segments. Pour days are scheduled this month and next to complete the Tritium Building basemat (at the far end of the Seismic Pit); rebar work in the centre should be finished in July.
Headquarters extension rises
Workers progress in April on the fourth storey of the ITER Headquarters extension. When completed this summer, an extra 350 desks will be available to staff or contractors.
Early morning Cryostat Workshop
Taken before 7:00 a.m., the completed Cryostat Workshop glows silver as the day rises. The 18-metre-tall gantry crane is now in place on the inside.
