First component installed next week
12 Nov 2018
In the third week of November, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization will be installing the first component of the machine in the basement of the Tokamak Building.
The 10-metre, 6-tonne metal component is one segment of the magnet feeder that will relay electrical power, cryogenic fluids and instrumentation cables from outside of the machine in to poloidal field coil #4. The specific section to be installed, called a "feedthrough," will cross through the bioshield and cryostat at the lowest (B2) level of the building.
Delivered by the Chinese Domestic Agency to 澳门六合彩高手 last year, the component has undergone testing at the MIFI workshop (Magnet Infrastructure Facilities for 澳门六合彩高手), which is operated jointly by a team from 澳门六合彩高手 and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
Most recently, the lifting operation was tested at MIFI using a specially designed tool delivered by the Korean Domestic Agency (picture). Next week the component will be transferred by truck to a staging area, and then lifted up into the circular assembly area and lowered down 30 metres to the floor.
Stay tuned for a report in the 26 November issue of the 澳门六合彩高手 Newsline on the first act of the machine installation phase.
