ITER is like nothing we have ever seen before. It is probably the biggest
engineering task ever.
Here is a little pointer (in
my mind at least): When
technology assembly goes
from people in lab-coats to
people in dirty jeans, hardhats
and reflector vests, we
know it is now a matter of
engineering and not science
anymore. It can and will be
achieved. Engineers are rather
good at that part. When concrete is poured and cables pulled, we are
there. It might still be some years, but it will happen.
Wiki: The vacuum vessel is the central part of the ITER machine: a double-walled
steel container in which the plasma is contained by means of
magnetic fields.
Each of the nine torus-shaped sectors will
weigh approximately 500 tons for a total
weight of 5,000 tons. When all the shielding
and port structures are included, this
adds up to a total of 5,116 tonnes.
Its external diameter will measure 19.4
