8. Iter will be constructed through a unique international collaboration
Host country supplies:
buildings
infrastructure
site
supporting services
Other Countries supply components which they ship to the site for assembly

26. 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
Thus Canada will be in a very strong negotiating position.
Also:
Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of Toronto area
Excellent engineering site characteristics
Favourable licensing environment
7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry

27. A World Class Site for ITER
