First machine components safely stored

22 Dec 2015
In December, the first 12 segments of the massive °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ cryostat were delivered to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France.

The 12 segments, forming the first tier of the cryostat base section, are now stored in the Cryostat Workshop. Welding operations will begin in the summer of 2016.
The 3,850-tonne cryostat, the vacuum-tight container that will surround the main plasma chamber and superconducting magnets, is under the procurement responsibility of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ-India Domestic Agency and manufactured by the Indian industrial giant Larsen & Toubro Ltd.
 
The arrival of the cryostat segments represents a double milestone for the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project—the arrival of the first elements that will be integrated into the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ machine, and the ahead-of-schedule achievement of the first project milestone validated by the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Council in November for the years 2016-2017.
