  1. ~600 registered participants • 64 invited talks; 79 contributed talks; 750 contributed posters • Menard talk in first contributed oral session on Tuesday • NSTX posters (and all others from USA) on Friday • Session was well attended nevertheless

  2. Conference opened with addresses by Ikeda: ITER Director • Nuclear Engineering background, then diplomatic assignments • First heard of fusion when JT-60 started • He was then surprised by projected cost of fusion power • Believes great progress has been made: ready for step to ITER • 35 year timescale (10 construction, 20 operation, 5 decommissioning) • He is 60 • Appreciates frustrations about site selection • Needs approval of legal entity next year to start employing people • Hopes this can be achieved in 2007 • Expects ~200 professional, 300 support staff during construction • Now about 30 on site at Cadarache • Negotiations with French nuclear regulators have started • Environmental review and public debate process also starting • See: www.iter.org/presentations/ikeda/EPC.ppt

  3. Alfvén Prize awarded to Paul-Henri Rebut • Reviewed step to JET • Size, 0.3 – 7 MA, D-shaped • Success based on sturdiness and adequate technical margins • Responsible organization: JJU • Present organization is flawed • By implication ITER also • JET could improve by factor 2 • ITER • Absolute performance is paramount: it has no margin • Superconducting design is premature; simplify everything • He favors a bigger copper machine • H-mode not steady-state; power threshold & ELM problem • An “X-point limiter” (as early JET) better than a divertor: x1.5 PDT • How can we finance the steps to a fusion reactor given ITER? • He favors fusion/fission hybrid

  4. Outstanding extra-curricula discussions organized
