An in-depth visit of the LHD stellarator
25 Jun 2013
Japan's Large Helical Device (LHD) will resume its experimental campaigns in late September. For the Unique ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Team, which convened last week in Tokyo following the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Council, the current shutdown phase was a rare opportunity to visit the world's largest superconducting stellarator, whose program was directed from 1998 to 2003 by current ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Director-General Osamu Motojima.
Easily recognizable (!) in the picture are, from left to right: ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ DDG Carlos Alejaldre, Technical Coordination Assistant Helen Hinton, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Council Secretary Sachiko Ishizaka and Director of Japan's National Institute of Fusion Science (NIFS) Prof Akio Komori.
