Welcome to the world of 100,000,000 K plasma discharges, sophisticated computer control and data acquisition systems, in- depth simulation codes, and world class fusion research! We invite to you to join us for a morning of stimulating science and engineering topics covering nuclear fusion research and its role in producing electricity in the near future. Come and see DIII-D, the nation's largest operating tokamak (toroidal magnetic field vacuum chamber) and learn what researchers are doing to better understand how to solve a fast approaching energy problem. We'll also learn about the state of magnetic levitation and its role in modern transportation systems.
This fascinating opportunity is great for adults of all ages and kids
over 10 years of age and will include:
- Fusion and plasma science & technology overview
- Special topic: Current applications of magnetic levitation
Small group gatherings will see and discuss
- The DIII-D Control room and control systems
- High current magnet power systems
- High voltage auxiliary heating systems
- DIII-D Tokamak Machine Hall
- Radiation and radioactivity in fusion engineering
In addition, each participant will be given fusion and plasma related educational materials in a variety of formats.
Be sure to bring your camera and wear closed toed shoes for a rewarding trek through a very unique research laboratory.
