An in-depth visit of the LHD stellarator
25 Jun 2013
Japan's Large Helical Device (LHD) will resume its experimental campaigns in late September. For the Unique ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø Team, which convened last week in Tokyo following the ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø Council, the current shutdown phase was a rare opportunity to visit the world's largest superconducting stellarator, whose program was directed from 1998 to 2003 by current ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø Director-General Osamu Motojima.
Easily recognizable (!) in the picture are, from left to right: ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø DDG Carlos Alejaldre, Technical Coordination Assistant Helen Hinton, ºÚÁÏ×¨Çø Council Secretary Sachiko Ishizaka and Director of Japan's National Institute of Fusion Science (NIFS) Prof Akio Komori.
