Over the following twelve hours, some 820\u00a0cubic metres of concrete were poured into the first \u201cplot\u201d of the seismic pit for the Tokamak complex. A total of fifteen plots will be poured over the next six months to complete the 1.5\u00a0metres thick B2\u00a0slab. In all, 15,000\u00a0cubic metres of concrete and 4000\u00a0tonnes of reinforcement will be needed for the slab.<\/p>\n<p>The Tokamak complex will house the Iter fusion reactor as well as diagnostic and tritium management systems. It will be 120\u00a0metres long and 80\u00a0metres in height and width. This is to be supported on anti-seismic bearings which are already in place to support the 23,000\u00a0tonne mass of the reactor system.<\/p>\n<p>Leader of Iter\u2019s nuclear buildings section Laurent Patisson said, \u201cWe are all very happy and may I say relieved to have reached this important and visible milestone for the Iter project. This is the beginning of the B2\u00a0basemat slab realization, and as I savour the moment I measure all of the work and effort that it has taken to reach this point\u201d. He added, \u201cThe concrete qualified for the B2\u00a0basemat has been the object of particular care, answering to the rigorous requirements of a nuclear facility in terms of stability, water permeability and gas confinement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Schmieder, head of buildings, construction and power supplies at Iter\u2019s European domestic agency, Fusion for Energy (F4E), commented, \u201cThe coming years will be challenging because of our tight schedule and high technical requirements. Safety and nuclear security remain our two main commitments and priorities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Iter project is meant to take nuclear fusion research to a new level with the largest ever Tokamak unit, which should be capable of sustaining plasmas that produce 500\u00a0MWt for as long as seven minutes. The EU is funding half of the cost while the remainder comes in equal parts from the other partners: China, Japan, India, Russia, South Korea and the USA.<\/p>\n<p>After five years of gradual site preparation, construction was officially authorised in November last year. A contract, worth \u20ac500\u00a0million ($687\u00a0million), was awarded in January to a seven-company consortium called VFR for the construction of some of the buildings on the site, including the central Tokamak complex.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is expected to reach full operation in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first concrete has been poured for the basemat of the Tokamak complex of the Iter fusion reactor project at Cadarache in southern France.
