Composed of the leading scientists and engineers from the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Members' fusion communities, STAC was established to review the progress that the project is making in key areas of science and technology.
Together with the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Management Advisory Committee (MAC), STAC makes recommendations that are submitted to the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Council.
The fourteenth session of STAC, last 14-16 May, covered a large range of topics, voicing concern over schedule but commending the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization for its efforts towards recovering delays and for the considerable progress made in the design, testing, validation and manufacturing of several components.
