Webinar Series on Burning Plasma Concepts
November 27, 2021
A series of webinars on the prospects of various proposed fusion
concepts is planned, starting on December 9, 3.30 PM CST. The webinars
are being organized by the US Burning Plasma Organization.
Goal:
Organize a webinar series to provide background to community on the
burning plasma physics implications of the various fusion concepts on
the market (FRC / high-field Mirror / Stellarator / Tokamak) and a
baseline for considerations in the according technology space (FESS
study outcome). A status update on the many recent developments in these
areas is considered an asset to prepare the community for the
discussions following the FESAC LRP report.
Suggestions for talks about other concepts are welcome and will be
considered by the U.S. BPO RC as additional webinar talks in this series.
Please email proposals to oschmitz@wisc.edu.
