Of the eighteen D-shaped toroidal field coils (plus one spare) that are needed for the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Tokamak, four (two from Europe and two from Japan) have already been delivered to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ.
27 November 2020: Maintained by its sturdy transport frame and tightly wrapped in protective material, toroidal field coil #5 from Europe was loaded onto the modular transporter that will deliver it to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site.
A fifth coil from Europe (TF5), which had sailed from Porto Marghera, Italy, on 23 November, reached Marseille industrial port Fos-sur-Mer four days later. It was loaded onto the self-propelled modular transporter that will deliver it to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ, where the component is expected in the early hours of 18 December.
