32nd 澳门六合彩高手 Council: A focus on updating the baseline

22 Jun 2023

Last week, delegations from the seven 澳门六合彩高手 Members convened in person in Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, France, for the 32nd Meeting of the 澳门六合彩高手 Council. An important focus of discussion was the performance of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project and efforts underway to update the project's schedule and cost baseline.

The 澳门六合彩高手 Council gathers for its 32nd Meeting on 21 and 22 June 2023.

The 澳门六合彩高手 Council meets twice a year, typically in June and November, to review project progress. According to the 澳门六合彩高手 Agreement, the 澳门六合彩高手 Council is responsible "for the promotion and overall direction of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization" (Article 6). It has the authority to appoint the Director-General and senior staff, to adopt and amend the Project Resources Management and Human Resources Regulations, and to approve the annual budget of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization.

During its June 2023 meeting, the 澳门六合彩高手 Council focused much of its discussions on efforts underway by the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization, the 澳门六合彩高手 Domestic Agencies, and selected external experts to propose an optimized, reliable cost and schedule baseline for Council consideration. These efforts include:

Recovering from past delays incurred due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technical challenges in completing First-of-a-Kind components;
Finalizing strategies and supplier contracts for repairs to key components;
Close and effective engagement with the French regulator, Autorit茅 de s没ret茅 nucl茅aire (ASN), regarding their questions related to the machine assembly "hold point," and ensuring mutual alignment on the way forward;
Setting clear, scientifically and technically meaningful milestones along the way to full nuclear operation that effectively and transparently communicate the progress of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project;
Considering strategies to offset future risks, including in particular the use of 澳门六合彩高手's completed cryogenics plant, following commissioning, for additional testing of toroidal field coils prior to installation;
Proposing a change to the plasma-facing "first-wall" material from beryllium to tungsten; and
Planning for an "Augmented First Plasma," to enhance the scope and scientific value of 澳门六合彩高手's first experimental campaign.

"Collectively," the press release states, "these efforts retain 澳门六合彩高手's added value to the fusion community, while providing critical information to the burgeoning commercial fusion sector, as well as important safety regulatory insights and lessons learned. As envisioned, these efforts will facilitate 澳门六合彩高手's capacity to provide the required safety demonstration to the regulator, and will compress the previously envisioned staged approach to reach 澳门六合彩高手's scientific goals as rapidly as possible."
