From ITER to DEMO – Technology Towards Fusion Power Town Hall Meeting 20th ANS Topical Meeting on the Technology of Fusion Energy Nashville, TN U.S.A. Hutton Hotel – Vista Ballroom 27 August 2012 – 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Issues for Discussion Context: Increasing worldwide emphasis on fusion technology and on planning for DEMO programs. Challenging questions for fusion researchers: What are the roles for large, integrated fusion nuclear facilities vs. specialized facilities (both non-nuclear and nuclear) for materials and technology development? How can we maximize the benefits from ITER? What are the major steps in the roadmap to DEMO, and what are the risks associated with various sequencing logics (e.g., FNSF in parallel with ITER vs. in series? IFMIF when?) What is the role of international collaboration in developing fusion materials, technology, next steps, and DEMO? TOFE-2012 Town Meeting / 27 August 2012
Agenda Panelists’ comments (10 min. each, incl. brief follow-up Q&A) Stan Milora (ORNL, U.S. Technology VNL Director) Tom Todd (CCFE, EU Technology Perspective) FarrokhNajmabadi (UCSD, ARIES Director) Hiroshi Matsumoto (JA Broader Approach, IFMIF) Chuck Kessel (PPPL, U.S. FNS Pathway Study Chair) 2. Panel Discussion Open Q&A until 8:30 p.m. TOFE-2012 Town Meeting / 27 August 2012
