Construction Going on Track!

Under the blue drying tents, the first 21 x 26 metre segment of the Tokamak Complex basemat slab (the B2 slab) is in place. The next pour is scheduled for early 2014.
GO ITER!!!
ITER (originally an acronym of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and Latin for "the way" or "the road"
is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering project, which is currently building the world's largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor adjacent to the Cadarache facility in the south of France.[1] The ITER project aims to make the long-awaited transition from experimental studies of plasma physics to full-scale electricity-producing fusion power plants. The project is funded and run by seven member entities the European Union (EU), India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea and the United States. The EU, as host party for the ITER complex, is contributing 45% of the cost, with the other six parties contributing 9% each.[2][3][4]
