Details of the conference programme at http://www.fz-juelich.de/psi2012
Construction of the ITER international fusion experiment, due to go into operation in 2019, is the next major step in the development of nuclear fusion as an energy source. The design of the burn chamber wall will largely determine the success of this international lighthouse project. Forschungszentrum Jülich played a key role in designing the lining of the burn chamber wall of the European fusion experiment JET. The new wall elements made of tungsten and beryllium are based on the design envisaged for ITER and have been in operation since September 2011.
After previous events in San Diego, Toledo, Hefei, Portland, Gifu and Rosenheim, the conference is being organized this year by Forschungszentrum Jülich and will be held in Aachen. More than 350 scientists and engineers from the ITER partners USA, European Union, Russia, China, South Korea, Japan and India are expected to attend.

Programm Notes and Fax Reply Form You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
