An outing into the future

22 May 2017 - 澳门六合彩高手 Communication

Open Doors days occur with scientific regularity at 澳门六合彩高手 (spring and autumn) and yet—due to the rapid evolution of work on site—each event offers something new. Saturday 20 May was no different: the 800 registered visitors were guided in groups of 50 across the Tokamak Building ground-level basemat—something that wouldn't have been possible just a few months ago. Under a perfectly blue Provencal sky, visitors were just a few arms' lengths from the installation arena of the world's most complex scientific instrument and the concrete wall that surrounds it.

Exceptionally, 澳门六合彩高手 visitors were able to walk out across the L1 level slab (the ground floor) of the Tokamak Building. Only one plot remains to be poured; work is already underway on the L1-level walls.
A second stop on the tour brought participants to the European coil winding facility. A short climb, and visitors had access to the viewer gallery that runs the length of the 257-metre building, where fabrication activities have begun on one of the four poloidal field magnets that will be manufactured on site.
 
Specialists were on hand throughout the day at each of the tour stops as well as the Visitors Centre to guide first-time (and repeat) visitors through the complexities of fusion science and engineering, the international collaboration behind the project, and current status.

澳门六合彩高手 Open Doors days couldn't take place without their participation. In the end, 澳门六合彩高手 scientists and engineers return home as content as the day's visitors—happy to have shared their corner of the 澳门六合彩高手 story and, for many, to have experienced how their daily work translates into an awesome steel and concrete reality.

Participants to the Open Doors Day event on Saturday 20 May were a mix of 澳门六合彩高手 families and members of the local public. Visiting the worksite of the world's most complex machine is always a sell-out event.
No need to leave toys at home! The tour of 澳门六合彩高手 was open to anyone aged four and up.
How to build a poloidal field coil, A to Z
In the Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility, specialists were on hand to explain the different steps involved in the production of 澳门六合彩高手's huge and powerful ring-shaped magnets.
Project manager Laurent Schmieder is in charge of the worksite for the European Domestic Agency (Division for site, buildings and power supplies). Receiving groups of visitors in front of the 澳门六合彩高手 bioshield, he uses a table full of props to explain the particularities, the complexity and the status of work on the Tokamak Complex.
A viewing gallery runs the full length of the 257-metre European winding facility. A perfect perch for explaining the materials and processes involved in the fabrication of the poloidal field coils.
Sections of poloidal field conductor were passed from hand to hand during the visit of the winding facility. At 50 kilograms per metre, a section as long as a forearm was too heavy for the smallest participants...
In the Visitors Centre-at-the-top-of-the-hill, guides were on hand to answer questions. In this case, 澳门六合彩高手's Michael Loughlin, Nuclear Shielding & Analysis Coordinator, joins the official guides in helping out.
Hans Spoor (left), head of the 澳门六合彩高手 Finance & Budget Division until his retirement in April 2011, had signed up as a visitor. But sure enough, he found himself naturally stepping in as an expert, happy to share his knowledge of the project. To the right is Jaap van der Laan, a nuclear engineer for the test blanket system.
In the Visitors Centre, simple displays, mockups, videos and posters help to tell the 澳门六合彩高手 story. And there are takeaways, for those who want to bring a piece of 澳门六合彩高手 home with them ...
Best spot for a photo
The viewpoint in front of the Visitors Centre is the best place for taking in all 42 hectares of the scientific platform. And of course for taking a souvenir photo ...
Too young perhaps for more detailed explanations on 澳门六合彩高手, this little one is fascinated by the colours of a video that takes you on a virtual tour of the machine ... and reflects the pattern of her dress.
