ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Talks series was introduced over the summer as a new outlet to educate viewers on the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization and fusion science. The first video, available for viewing , was hosted by Laban Coblentz, head of Communications, and served as a general introduction to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ.

The second instalment, just released, delves into one of the major machine components: the blanket. René Raffray, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's Blanket Section leader, presents the many functions of the blanket system and the process of its construction.

René also recounts the history of blanket design, as it adapted to new knowledge uncovered over the years. The current design is complex, with many smaller pieces that must come together before the blanket is ready to be installed. Once the blanket is complete, it will act as a shield to protect the vacuum vessel from the energy produced by the fusion reaction.
