ITER: the first puzzle pieces arrive

The four wooden crates solidly attached to its flatbed contained the very first plant components delivered to the ITER worksite: 12 high voltage surge arrestors supplied by the US Domestic Agency as part of the US contribution to the installation's steady state electrical system.

"This is a historic and meaningful moment," said Ken Blackler, head of the Assembly & Operations Division, as the crates were being unloaded into the building for temporary storage. "These are the first of many thousands of components to be delivered to ITER by the project's Members."
Temperature, density, confinement time: pick any two.

Awesome! All the thousands of pieces should have arrived by 2030, and then fusion on ITER shall be only 30 more years away, unless things go wrong.
