OVERVIEW
As part of the 23rd International Symposium on Fusion Energy, a special one-day short course on fusion engineering and design will be offered on Friday June 5th, to be held at the Omni Hotel, San Diego, California.
A group of experts from fusion technology research will provide a set of lectures on:
- Basics of Plasma and Fusion
- ITER Overview
- Fusion Power Plants
- In-Vessel Components
- Fusion Safety and Tritium Management
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course is designed in particular to help individuals from industry, who might be interested in ITER procurement, to obtain a better understanding of the overall fusion engineering picture. It would also benefit researchers and graduate students new to the fusion field. The course fee is $500 per attendee ($250 for students).
