Winding up for construction start
9 Apr 2010
Assisting Director-General Ikeda were the people that paved the way for the signature: Simon Sweeney, Steel Frame Buildings Section Leader; Laurent Schmieder, Head of the Site, Buildings and Power Supplies Division for Europe; and Assistant Angele Corso-Leclercq.
It may have been signed on 1 April but this is far from being an April Fool's joke: last week, ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Director-General Kaname Ikeda signed the application for the construction permit for the Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility that will be the first structure to take shape on the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ site this summer.
"This facility together with the permanent office buildings, which are expected to rise this year as well, will clearly mark the fact that ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ is moving towards its construction phase," the Director-General stated. "This visible progress will do everyone good."
