Tower rising

At the centre of the construction site for the Tokamak Complex the bioshield is rising. This reinforced concrete structure (3.2 metres thick at its base) is designed to protect workers and the environment from the radiation generated by the fusion reaction. Having completed the basement levels B2 and B1, workers are now advancing on the "L" levels (above-ground levels). L1 has been poured and is seen still surrounded by scaffolding in this picture; L2 is half framed out; and the first reinforcement bars are visible at the L3 level.
