  26. The former RFP research in China Time evolution in SWIP-RFP

  27. Why re-start RFP project in China? Toroidal alternate research is essential for fusion program in China!

  28. Motivation Diversity is part of the nature, so is fusion research. Ancient Chinese philosophy “Let a hundred schools of thought contend” (BC 770) Improve the understanding of toroidal confinement in general Test bed for diagnostics development

  29. Why in USTC Favorable geographic location: close to EAST, ASIPP (15km) Training of fusion talents is the priority of university Human resource advantage: USTC has strong research teams in both fusion and space plasma research The richness of the RFP physics fits the need of USTC
