Europe's coil #5 unloaded at Fos harbour
30 Nov 2020
Of the eighteen D-shaped toroidal field coils (plus one spare) that are needed for the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Tokamak, four (two from Europe and two from Japan) have already been delivered to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ.
27 November 2020: Maintained by its sturdy transport frame and tightly wrapped in protective material, toroidal field coil #5 from Europe was loaded onto the modular transporter that will deliver it to the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site.
A fifth coil from Europe (TF5), which had sailed from Porto Marghera, Italy, on 23 November, reached Marseille industrial port Fos-sur-Mer four days later. It was loaded onto the self-propelled modular transporter that will deliver it to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, where the component is expected in the early hours of 18 December.
