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

Our competitive advantages have prompted others to rate our chances at 60%

Key:1. No need to transport tritium

- a risk no other site could reasonably assure2. Canada as “compromise” between strong EU & Japanese

desires3. Without Canada picking up the host share, any other site

would be much more costly for Parties

Thus Canada will be in a very strong

negotiating position.

Also:4. Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of Toronto area5. Excellent engineering site characteristics6. Favourable licensing environment7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry
