The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) will host a "Scientific Symposium in Honor of Harold P. Furth," June 6-7, at the Laboratory.

Furth, a former Director of PPPL, and one of a select group of early fusion researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has also been one of the most prolific scientific contributors to fusion over the past four decades. He will assume the status of Professor Emeritus at Princeton University upon his planned retirement this year.

A welcome reception will be held at Prospect House, on the Princeton University campus, from 6-7 PM on Sunday evening, June 6. The symposium will be held at PPPL on June 7, followed by a banquet at the Forrestal Hotel.

A block of rooms has been reserved at The Novotel Princeton Hotel (609-520-1200, "Furth Symposium," $87 per night) for June 6 and 7. Shuttle service is avaiable from the Newark airport at $20 each way, from the baggage claim area.
