ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

On Saturday 10 September, close to 450 participants met near ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, in Vinon-sur-Verdon, for a number of sporting events designed to create and reinforce ties between people working on the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Project and neighbours from the surrounding villages. The 2016 edition of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Games offered a broad choice of sporting disciplines for all levels, including football, cross-country running, mountain biking, kayaking, tennis and petanque. The competitions were followed by a bucolic lunch and an afternoon of family activities.

The last of three electrical transformers have successfully passed factory acceptance tests in China and are ready for shipment.

China is responsible for procuring ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's pulsed power electrical network (PPEN), which will feed power to the heating and control systems during plasma pulses.

As part of the procurement package, three massive PPEN transformers (15 metres tall, 460 tonnes when completely fitted out) have been manufactured by supplier Baodin Tianwei. The first of these reached the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ site in June 2016; now, following the successful completion of factory acceptance tests, the last two are ready for shipment.
