ºÚÁÏרÇø

On 30 January, six large steel elements of the ºÚÁÏרÇø cryostat left the port of Hazira, India for their one-month voyage to ºÚÁÏרÇø.

These are the first segments of the cryostat lower cylinder (tier 1). On site at ºÚÁÏרÇø, assembly activities (welding, testing) for the cryostat base have been underway since September 2016

A lot has happened on the construction platform since the ºÚÁÏרÇø 360° virtual tour was released to the website last year with an October data set.

The first ground-level walls of the Tokamak Complex are now visible from afar, the circular bioshield dominates in the centre, and two new buildings—one for radiofrequency heating and the other for cryogenics—are now completely framed out. Elsewhere on site, excavation and early foundation works are underway and the first activities to energize the 400 kV electrical switchyard have been carried out.

The best way to catch up on recent progress is to open the January 2017 update of the 360° virtual tour.
