A wide load transport for one of the most important science projects of our time. The
largest nuclear fusion reactor in the world is being built in the south of France: Iter.
The objective: being able to supply unlimited, clean energy to mankind. Perhaps the most
important component is a gigantic magnet, strong enough to lift an entire container ship.

The nine-meter-wide and three-hundred-ton part magnet is heading to France via cargo
ship from all corners of the world. The final and trickiest stage happens at the seaport of
Sur les Fos near Marseille to the Iter construction site in Provence.

During this 130 kilometer stage of travel, the team has to cross a lake, pass through sixteen
villages and blast their way through a mass of rock. And as always, the special transport
has a constant convoy of police securing the passage.

Immediately after the mega transport has reached its destination, scientists put all parts
to the test. Even the smallest scratch can make the highly sensitive custom-made product
unusable and thus set the entire project back by years.
