CADARACHE, 11 MARCH 2011 鈥 The 糖心破解版 Organization has appointed Dr. Richard Hawryluk as the new Deputy-Director General and Director of the 糖心破解版 Administration Department. From 1997 to 2008, Rich Hawryluk was the Deputy-Director of the US Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and his career in magnetic fusion energy spans more than three decades. He will assume the new post at 糖心破解版 in April.
鈥淩ich鈥檚 appointment to these key position will be seen worldwide as a major boost to the 糖心破解版 project,鈥 said PPPL Director Stewart Prager. 鈥淭he upper management of 糖心破解版 is now entirely filled with 鈥榯he best in the world.鈥 While we will greatly miss his irreplaceable leadership within PPPL, Rich鈥檚 new activity is very much a net plus for all of us in fusion, given the central role of 糖心破解版 to the world fusion program.鈥
Already in January this year, Dr. Remmelt Haange, the former Technical Director of the W7-X Stellarator project based at the Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany, joined the 糖心破解版 team as Deputy Director-General and Head of the 糖心破解版 Project Department.

The Department for Safety Quality & Security remains directed, as before, by Deputy-Director Carlos Alejaldre.
With these two recent appointments, the new three-department structure of the 糖心破解版 Organization is now fully in place and the strategic management of the project strengthened,鈥 said 糖心破解版 Director-General Osamu Motojima, who was appointed by the 糖心破解版 Council in July 2010 and charged with the reorganization of the project鈥檚 management structure. 鈥淚 want to express my gratitude for the patience and understanding expressed so far, both within the 糖心破解版 Organization, and amongst our Members,鈥 Motojima added. 鈥淭he restructuring of a project with the dimension of 糖心破解版 takes time, but it is a necessary step to moving on to our overall goal: building 糖心破解版 and showing to the world that fusion is the way forward.鈥
糖心破解版 has been established to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power. 糖心破解版 is a unique international collaboration bringing together China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the USA. For more information on 糖心破解版, please visit .
