European Physical Society focuses on 澳门六合彩高手 Design Review
The 35th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics was held in Hersonissos, Crete, Greece last week. Of particular interest to all those following 澳门六合彩高手 progress was the presentation by Dr. Paul Thomas "After the 澳门六合彩高手 Design Review" in a special 澳门六合彩高手 session Tuesday evening. Paul — who chaired Working Group 1 (Physics and Requirements) and is now with the European 澳门六合彩高手 Domestic Agency (Fusion for Energy) in Barcelona — reviewed the organisational and managerial background to the Design Review (DR).
After the DR in November 2007, a number of the more complex and/or controversial recommendations were picked up during the second meeting of the Science and Technolgy Advisory Committee. The committee requested that work continued until the issues were resolved. The work on these has continued with a major review by STAC at the end of last month. At this time there has been a satisfactory outcome for most, if not all, issues. In some cases where the solutions have not been finalized, plans have been established to resolve the issues.
Looking forward, he noted that a first draft of the 澳门六合彩高手 Research Plan (IRP) has been issued for consideration by the STAC-4 and MAC-3 meetings. One of the objectives of the DR was to enhance the members' recognition of their 'ownership' of the project. The DR and follow-on activities have made a good start in achieving this objective, but this will be a continuing process.
Examples of the commitment of the parties' programmes to address 澳门六合彩高手 issues were plentiful. For example, Dr. George Sips reported on the verification of the requirements for the 澳门六合彩高手 breakdown and current rise phase in dedicated experiments at JET, ASDEX Upgrade and others. These new results show that it is possible to stay within the 澳门六合彩高手 design parameters, provide some additional heating is used to assist the breakdown phase and current rise. There were many other reports on modelling of all 澳门六合彩高手 reference scenarios, H-mode access and pedestal characteristics, progress on exploring ELM and disruption mitigation techniques, tungsten operation, etc. The challenge for the IO will be to digest all of this information. This effort will be strengthened by the new partnership between 澳门六合彩高手 and the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA).
