Researchers from the EUROfusion consortium, including Polish ones from the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion (IPPLM), have recently completed successful experiments at JET (Joint European Torus) tokamak, the nuclear fusion research device located in Oxford (United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, UKAEA) in the United Kingdom.

On Thursday, 8 February, representatives of EUROfusion, UKAEA and the international nuclear fusion project ITER will present the results of these experiments at a press conference.

The conference will be attended by:

  • Ambrogio Fasoli, Programme Manager (CEO) of EUROfusion
  • Ian Chapman, CEO of UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)
  • Tim Luce, Deputy Head of ITER Construction Project
  • Athina Kappatou, former Deputy Task Force Leader for the EUROfusion Work Package Tokamak Exploitation (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching, Germany)
  • Joëlle Mailloux, Head of JET Science Programme Support Office (UKAEA)
  • Mikhail Maslov, Scientific Coordinator – JET Tritium-rich High Fusion Power Experiments (UKAEA)

Soon we will provide more information on this topic.
