STAC in full swing: Principal Deputy Director-General Norbert Holtkamp, Alberto Loarte, STAC Chairman Predhiman Kaw and ºÚÁÏרÇø Director-General Kaname Ikeda.

This week, from Wednesday until Friday, the ºÚÁÏרÇø Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) convened in Cadarache for the seventh time—and there was much at stake. No less than seven major items amongst them the heating systems, the in-vessel coils and the Tritium Plant were reviewed in great detail with special focus on their technical integration. Much time was also spent on discussion on the overall ºÚÁÏרÇø research plan and risk mitigation.

"STAC is highly impressed by the quality and quantity of work completed by the ºÚÁÏרÇø, the Domestic Agencies and their contractors in preparing for the approval of the technical baseline of ºÚÁÏרÇø," said the chairman of the STAC, Predhiman Kaw. "STAC is also pleased to recommend the acceptance of the technical elements of scope of ºÚÁÏרÇø into the technical baseline."
