Inside ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ (video)
The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ community was treated to a special event last Thursday 12 March. In the first of a series of Inside ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ conferences, David Campbell, Assistant Deputy Director-General for Fusion Science & Technology, made a concise presentation on the basics of fusion, and fielded questions from a mixed audience of scientific and non-scientific ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ employees. All were there to enrich their knowledge about the science of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Project.
"The aim of these seminars," explained David, "is to explain what we're doing here in ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ in a straightforward and simple manner. We all come from very different backgrounds. My hope today is that you'll leave today with a clear idea about why we're doing fusion research, what fusion is, what plasma is and, indeed, what ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ is ..."
More than 200 people attended the seminar, in a terrific start to the Inside ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ series. Please be encouraged to attend the next one on 2 April 14.00-15.00. Deputy Director-General Gary Johnson from the Tokamak Department will give a presentation on the technological and scientific challenges of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Tokamak.
