Travelling light Components for the ITER machine and plant systems come in all shapes, sizes and weights. Here, the hydraulic bridge trailer carrying a segment of the cryostat passes the gorge of Mirabeau, 10 kilometres to the south of the ITER site. As for the CEL, their number is estimated at 3, Once loaded onto a trailer, the HEL must be transferred to a specially-designed barge and ferried across the inland sea Etang-de-Berre.
CEL, on the other hand, travel by day on regular roads directly from Fos harbour and completely avoid crossing the Etang-de-Berre. They also do not require roadway closings and demand only limited technical assistance, plus two gendarmerie motorcyclists to regulate traffic.
The difference in cost is considerable. The objective, defined with Europe, is to bring down the number of anticipated HEL loads from to less than But as their height only exceeded the CEL definition by 65 centimetres it was worth trying to downgrade them.
Bosses at the JET facility have decided to replace the white cladding on the exterior of the buildings with mirrored stainless steel to match the material being used at the ITER complex at Cadarache in southern France. The "human element," true star of fusion documentary "'Let There Be Light' follows the story of dedicated scientists working to build a small sun on Earth, which would unleash perpetual, cheap, clean energy for mankind. After decades of failed attempts, a massive push is now underway to crack the holy grail of energy.
They consider the grand ambitions of the project. I'm a bit crazy. At the time, they were contemplating making a film on climate change, and seeking a new angle. The result is a cinematic narrative unlike anything ever made about this "holy grail of energy. Smaller projects, funded by private investment, also figure prominently. One such project, General Fusion, is based near Vancouver, Canada. Its founder and chief inventor, Michel Laberge, who recently spoke at ITER, embodies both the inspiration and the frustration of the fusion quest, recounting scientific and engineering breakthroughs as well as the ever-present practical considerations of how to build a company, overcome skepticism, and obtain funding.
