The preparation of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site started on 29 January. By October 2007, part of an area of 180 hectares next to the Cadarache site will be prepared under the supervision of the Agence °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ France, for the construction of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ. Great care has been taken to minimize the environmental impact of this work, including an environmental inventory of the flora and fauna and protective measures.
Tree-felling on parts of the first 75 hectares will be carried out before the end of March 2007 when the bird nesting season starts. Work to enable the erection of a provisional fence should be completed in April 2007.
