The Iter Tokamak Plasma +100,000,000 oC
The Clarington Site for ITER Clarington Toronto Proposed ITER Site 20 Km
Blue Circle Cement Location for ITER at the Clarington Site Dock ITER Darlington NGS Tritium Removal Facility Dock Iter construction site at Clarington
Iter will be constructed through a unique international collaboration Other Countries supply components which they ship to the site for assembly • Host country supplies: • buildings • infrastructure • site • supporting services ITER LAYOUT ADAPTED FOR CLARINGTON SITE
Typical subsurface profile showing option for open excavation
340,000 cubic metres of concrete 32,000 tonnes of rebar 4,200,000 ft2 of formwork 20,000 tonnes of structural steel 6 CN Towers!

The Canadian Engineering & Construction Consortium Structure The detailed Construction Phase project structure has been developed
ITER Canada supports the realization of Iter in manyways Iter Support Providing Canadian expertise, R&D Bid Preparation Developing formal bid to host Iter ITER Canada International Relations Persuading countries to support Canada as host Government Relations Securing required support of 3 levels of government in Canada Communications Implementing a variety of public communication programs promoting Iter ITER Canada Administering our non-profit company
www.itercanada.com Media Relations Iter Canada Newsletter School Program Speaking Engagements International Events Video Iter Canada’s communications program for promoting Iter is open and inclusive
ECONOMY • Debt Reduction: $6.4 Billion • Foreign Investment • Attraction of related industries • PEOPLE • Jobs: 68,000 person years • Brain Gain: 250 international scientists • TECHNOLOGY • Access to advanced technologies • Spin-off companies • Canadian R&D profile • Boost to education Plus…. Contribution to sustainable energy development Benefits of hosting Iter
Visiting Scientists Seconded Scientists Engineering and Construction Operating Personnel
Iter will have many leading edge technologies, such as: • Isotope Separation • Remote Handling • Plasma Technologies Diagnostic Equipment • Large Scale Data Management • Microwave Technologies • Advance Simulation Facilities • Advanced Software Systems • Advanced Materials • Super-Conducting Magnets • Control Room Technologies • High Speed Computer Networks • Software Integration
Three Competitors for Hosting Iter: • Japan • France • Canada

Overall Iter Timeframe 2003 – 2011+ 2012 - 2014 2014 - 2015 2016 2032 2033 - 2038 2039+ Construction Operating Phase Commissioning Hydrogen Plasma Hydrogen Deuterium Plasma Deuterium – Tritium Plasma First neutron generation De-activation First introduction of external tritium Decommissioning 2039 2068 2108 Decay Period Dismantling – clearance for recycling - disposal
Thus Canada will be in a very strong negotiating position. Our competitive advantages have prompted others to rate our chances at 60% Key: • No need to transport tritium - a risk no other site could reasonably assure 2. Canada as “compromise” between strong EU & Japanese desires • Without Canada picking up the host share, any other site would be much more costly for Parties • Also: • Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of Toronto area • Excellent engineering site characteristics • Favourable licensing environment • 7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry
