Translation of the ITER Project Preliminary Safety Report
The ITER project is going to be the world's biggest collaborative research project. It is based at Cadarache in the South of France, and will aim to demonstrate the technical feasability of nuclear fusion as a future power source. I spent three months translating the "Rapport préliminaire de sûreté" (Preliminary Safety Report) - a technical document laying out a risk assessment for the facility and describing in detail the built-in safety systems.
