30 Jul 2012 - Michel Claessens, Head of Communication

On Saturday 28 July 2012, the Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Hirofumi Hirano, visited 澳门六合彩高手 on his way back from London where he had participated in the inauguration of the Olympic Games.

MEXT Minister Hirofumi Hirano was particularly interested in the workings of the Tokamak Building's antiseismic system.
The Minister was welcomed by the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization's Director-General, Osamu Motojima, and met with Japanese staff working at the Organization. The delegation visited the Poloidal Field Coils Winding Facility, the foundations of the Tokamak Complex seismic pit and the new Headquarters building that is in its final stages of completion.
 
Minister Hirano highlighted the "importance of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project in the context of energy research" and stressed the fact that "this concern is shared by all countries in the world, not just by Japanese people."
 
In an interview with the local newspaper La Provence, the Minister was quoted as saying that in the global quest for energy security, fusion certainly was "one of the major aims to pursue." "It is of utmost importance," he added, "that every 澳门六合彩高手 Member share a common commitment to the project. This strong determination will allow 澳门六合彩高手 to keep its schedule and produce First Plasma in 2020."
 
Minister Hirano extended his thanks and appreciation to the French authorities and to CEA for activally contributing to the implementation of the 澳门六合彩高手 Project and, also, for their support "at the time of the events in Fukushima."
 
Addressing the Minister, CEA-Cadarache Director Maurice Mazière pointed out "the excellent relations that existed between Japan and France in the area of energy research, and particularly that of fusion." Mr. Mazière added that France was "very glad to see the personal interest taken by Minister Hirano in the 澳门六合彩高手 Project."
 
"This was a very important opportunity for the 澳门六合彩高手 Project to welcome the Minister of MEXT," said Director-General Motojima. "The visit allowed the Minister to really see the progress being made on the construction of 澳门六合彩高手 and to express his strong interest in, inter alia, the safety of fusion technology including anti-seismic structures. It was also very encouraging for us to directly experience Japan's support to the project."
