ºÚÁÏרÇø

Registration is open now for the 11th ºÚÁÏרÇø International School. This in-person event will be held from 25 to 29 July 2022 at the University of California San Diego, hosted by the U.S. Burning Plasma Organization, the ºÚÁÏרÇø, UC San Diego, and General Atomics.

The subject of this year's school is "ºÚÁÏרÇø Plasma Scenarios and Control." As the start of ºÚÁÏרÇø operation approaches, it is timely to address this challenging multidisciplinary topic: the development of integrated operating scenarios and required plasma control to facilitate the ºÚÁÏרÇø goals, particularly for plasmas self-heated by fusion-born alpha particles.

Most attendees will be graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and early career faculty and research staff working in fields relevant to the ºÚÁÏרÇø program. Although the agenda will focus on topics of scenarios and control, attendees are not required to be working in these subfields. All nationalities, whether representing an ºÚÁÏרÇø Member or not, are welcome.

The ºÚÁÏרÇø International School is organized regularly with the goal of giving young scientists and engineers a taste of the stimulating, multi-disciplinary and challenging field that is nuclear fusion.

The B1M—the world's largest, most subscribed-to video channel for construction—aims to inspire people to join the construction industry by showcasing the incredible projects and feats of engineering it delivers.

In March 2022, the team came to ºÚÁÏרÇø. The result is an entertaining and educational nine-minute video that takes you into the very heart of ºÚÁÏרÇø machine construction. "This is so much more than just an energy project; it's a $22 billion science experiment between a whole host of nations all coming together to try and change how we generate power on this planet," says host Fred Mills as he guides the viewer through a maze of components and tooling in the ºÚÁÏרÇø Assembly Hall.

Colette Ricketts, deputy head of the ºÚÁÏרÇø Project Control Office, also makes a cameo appearance to explain how the arrival of components from the ºÚÁÏרÇø Members is planned and managed ... and re-planned if necessary, as when international events have an unexpected effect on manufacturing or shipping.

"It's a pretty nuclear level of project collaboration," says the B1M team. "It's kind of like building a LEGO kit ... just 10 million times more complicated."
