After years of design, construction and installation, the futuristic stage was set: a grand glass-walled sphere surrounded by the pavilions of 100 countries, the exhibits of 10 international organizations, and fair grounds designed to host over 2 million people in three months. The doors of the 2017 World's Fair opened in Astana, Kazakhstan on 10 June to the theme of "Future Energy"鈥攁 topic that resonates directly with the mission and vision of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project.
The central "Sphere" at EXPO-2017, on a 174-hectare site in Astana where over 2 million visitors are expected in the next three months. The 2017 World's Fair opened in Kazakhstan on 10 June to the theme of "Future Energy."
It is only logical, then, that 澳门六合彩高手 and fusion were well represented at this exceptional technological showcase. "I cannot imagine any science and engineering project with a greater potential impact on the future than harnessing the power of the sun and the stars," 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General Bernard Bigot said, as he inaugurated the 澳门六合彩高手 exhibition.
When US architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill began to design the EXPO 2017 structures鈥攚hich, seen from a distance, resemble a spaceport鈥攖he landscape was not much more than dry steppe. On 174 hectares they have created a visually remarkable exhibition area consisting of more than 200 buildings and nationally themed pavilions. The centerpiece is an 80-metre-in-diameter sphere showcasing the history and vision of the EXPO host country, Kazakhstan.
A few steps away from this central nucleus, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization has designed a 110-square-metre exhibition within the French Pavilion. There, the benefits of fusion as a potential source of safe, clean and virtually unlimited energy鈥攁nd the 澳门六合彩高手 Project under construction now, underwritten by 35 nations鈥攁re explained through a series of multimedia tools, models, displays and virtual reality. As Host to the project, France had invited 澳门六合彩高手 to participate in EXPO 2017 alongside technologically innovative companies such as Peugeot, Total and Veolia.
The opening of the Chinese Pavilion drew an enthusiastic crowd eager to learn about fusion. A holographic model of the 澳门六合彩高手 Tokamak was one of the highlights.
"The future of fusion鈥攍ike the future of science鈥攊s partnership." This conclusion, delivered by Director-General Bigot at the inauguration ceremony, was reinforced both by the exhibit content and the attendance of French Commissioner Pascal Lorot and the heads of the European, Russian, Korean and Chinese Domestic Agencies for 澳门六合彩高手.
"Let me assure you that we are grateful to have so many of you as our partners. I offer my thanks to the Government of France, my warmest wishes to our gracious Kazakh hosts for a beautiful and memorable World EXPO-2017, and my most sincere welcome to all of you and your guests at this inauguration of the 澳门六合彩高手 exhibit."
The 澳门六合彩高手 exhibit is not the only one featuring fusion energy in Astana. The Chinese Pavilion features a spectacular 4D cinema show and a cutting-edge model of the 澳门六合彩高手 machine that uses holographic animation. Visitors to the central Sphere are also treated to a model of the KTM tokamak鈥攔educed-size, but large enough to climb into.
