  1. DOE Expectations for the ARIES Team Presented by: A. L. Opdenaker Fusion Energy Sciences Office of Science Doubletree Hotel Conference Center Bethesda, Maryland July 29, 2010

  2. Thanks to all of you for coming to Washington in the middle of our infamous hazy, hot, and humid summer • I am hoping that we can arrange to have at least one meeting every year at a location that is an easy train ride from Germantown so I can once again become involved in the great work you are doing

  3. FES View of the Studies Team • Your efforts have been and continue to be greatly appreciated by the management of Fusion Energy Sciences • As we prepared for the FNS Meeting (Chuck will report), Ed Synakowski made many remarks about • quality of your work • confidence he has in team leadership • objective work based on science not influenced by organizational concerns, confinement concept bias, etc. • FES will continue to look to you to support us for special needs in the future

  4. The Face of Fusion Energy Sciences Is Changing • FES staff has been getting smaller • Five Long-Serving Staff members have recently retired • Two of three management positions remain vacant • The trend is about to start reversing! • Ed has been on-board for over one year • Research Division Director position will close in August • New Project Manager will report soon • Expect to have all positions filled be end of FY 2011 • I encourage you to consider the open positions

  5. Material science Energy mission Control science Plasma science Broad Programmatic Expectations • Expect FES management to be more scientifically savvy • Expect biggest programmatic need to be increase in scientific credibility of fusion • Expect credibility to enable a description of the requirements for energy development and the accompanying risks • Whatever else you may hear, next 20 years will be THE ITER ERA • Expect, in parallel, Fusion Nuclear Sciences Program • Expect Q~10 in ITER + FNSP results to allow national commitment to Fusion Development

  6. Expectations of Studies Team • Continue/Complete current PMI efforts • Stretch out if required to support FNS • Participate in FNS planning as needed • Chuck will address possible areas of need • Possible Need to Re-Address DEMO Parameters • Do not worry--Whatever the expectations may turn out to be, the team will be busy

  7. Studies team must continue to remain flexible in order to respond appropriately to the current task before it. Team members will change to meet the needs • FNS group wants • table of commercial power plant characteristics, include • conservative to aggressive, • plasma and technology issues • iterate it with others in the FNS group • example of Technical Readiness Level Document

  8. Advanced Design Studies Budget
