Here, for example, each of the nine steel sectors of the ITER vacuum vessel will be sub-assembled with thermal shielding and a pair of toroidal field coils before being lifted and positioned inside the machine. Here also, the six modules of the central solenoid will be stacked and consolidated within a support structure.
Work on the Assembly Hall began in June 2012 and was completed in September 2015 with the lifting of the massive 730-tonne roof structure. Two 750-tonne overhead cranes and two 50-tonne auxiliary cranes have been installed and commissioned; tools for major assembly tasks are also in place. In March 2020, the temporary wall separating the Assembly Hall from the Tokamak Building was removed, and the crane rails were extended over the Tokamak assembly pit.
