ITER – a Global Challenge
• „The stakes are considerable, not to say vital for our planet.“ Manuel Barroso, Former President of the European Commission

Fusion powers the sun and the starsFusion powers the sun and the stars“…Prometheus steals fire from the heaven”“…Prometheus steals fire from the heaven”
• Essentially limitless fuel, available all over the world
• No greenhouse gases
• Intrinsic safety
• No long-lived radioactive waste
• Large-scale energy production
On Earth,
fusion could provide:

The Fusion Reaction on Earth“... is not the same as in the Sun“
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O + 5.5 eV (chemical)41H + 2e --> 4He + 2 + 6 + 26.7 MeV (solar process)
+ 3.5 MeV
+ 14.1 MeV

Fusion FuelRaw fuel of a fusion reactor is water and lithium*
Lithium in one laptop battery + half a bath-full of ordinary water (-> one egg cup full of heavy water) 200,000 kW-hours = (current UK electricity production)/(population of the UK) for 30 years
* Deuterium/hydrogen = 1/6700+ tritium from: neutron (from fusion) + lithium tritium + helium

EPICS for ITER
Decision taken about 16 month ago
Consequences:– We have to convince and sell to achieve acceptance– We don’t have very much time …

EPICS for ITER
Decision taken about 16 month agoConsequences:
– We have to convince and sell to achieve acceptance– We don’t have very much time …– We have to learn from the community to use it the good way– We have to show ITER to the community– We organized the spring collaboration meeting 2010 in AIX– We are happy to have received:
• 113 registrations• 52 affiliations• 9 companies • 33 contributions
Page 18
EPICS Collaboration Meeting – Aix-en-Provence - 1.-3. June 2010
Collaboration
Collaborating means taking and giving• Giving
– ITER surely will contribute to the community – We could become an active contributor to CSS and an OO
service layer– Today ITER disseminates EPICS to the fusion community– … more to come
• Taking– For a fast start up we take what the community has produced– …and we thank the community for giving us this possibility
Having said that …
