Fascinating images of fusion have captured the judges' hearts in the 2012 German Prize for Science Photography — two of the five prizes were awarded for images from EFDA Associates' fusion experiments.
Volker Steger's panoramic picture of the inside of the ASDEX-Upgrade tokamak at the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching won the 4000 euro second prize in the single photo category.
The judges also awarded a special prize to Christian Lünig for his series of 6 black and white images of the Textor tokamak at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator at the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald. The full series of images can be found on the Photography Prize's website.

KSTAR aims for longer plasmas
At the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE), the KSTAR tokamak recommenced operations in December after a major upgrade to replace the device's carbon divertor with a tungsten divertor.
According to an on the KFE website, the original carbon divertors could take a thermal load of 5MW/m², whereas the tungsten divertor can take 10MW/m². The upgrade is critical to the goal of sustaining a 100-million-degree plasma for 300 seconds by 2026. Data from the operational campaign will be directly relevant to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ, which will operate a tungsten divertor under similar plasma conditions in terms of shape and structure.
This testing campaign will continue through February 2024. Read more about the plans in this in English on the KFE website, or in Korean in the .
