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

ITER Canada supports the realization of Iter in
many ways
Iter Support Providing Canadian expertise, RD
Bid Preparation Developing formal bid to host Iter
ITER Canada
International Relations Persuading countries to
support Canada as host
Government Relations Securing required support of
3 levels of government in Canada
Communications Implementing a variety of public
communication programs promoting Iter
ITER Canada Administering our non-profit company
16
Iter Canadas communications program for
promoting Iter is open and inclusive

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

• Also
• Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of
  Toronto area
• Excellent engineering site characteristics
• Favourable licensing environment
• 7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry
