The Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) advises the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Council on science and technology issues that arise during the course of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ construction and operation.

In its last meeting in September 2023, the STAC reviewed the new plans for construction and operation proposed by the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization and Member's Domestic Agencies. It supported the change in blanket first wall armour material (from beryllium to tungsten) and recommended adopting the proposed outline operational plan as a basis for the further articulation of the Updated Baseline.

This month, after the further consolidation of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Research Plan, including the input of experts, the STAC gathered to review progress and strategy. A full report will be made to the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Council, which will meet on site at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ in June.

This week, the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Council Management Advisory Committee (MAC) also convenes at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Headquarters. Its role is to advise the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Council on strategic management issues.
