Fusion Power Associates31st Annual Meeting and Symposium Fusion Energy: Focus on the Future

December 1 - 2, 2010 – Wash D.C.

Overview – DOE FES Activities at LLNL

Don CorrellProgram Leader

LLNL Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Program

The overall management and execution of the LLNL portfolio from DOE’s Office of FES was recently clarified in 2 LLNL Administrative Memos

Materials and Technology for Fusion

NSTX plasma-wall interactions with novel divertors

NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL Fusion Materials

ITER MagnetsVlad Soukhanovskii2010 Early Career Award Winner

Focus on the Future: Office of Science “2011 Early Career” submissions to DOE FES illustrate the breadth of fusion topics from “EC” PI’s

3 within HEDLP – 2 NIF campaigns and 1 e-/ion interactions 3 within MFE – 1 DIII-D/ELM, 1 Materials, and 1 Edge Theory

Focus on the Future: FES Program for High School Science Teachers provides research experience in plasma topics

Research on LLNL’s EBIT led to Can. J. Phys paper co-authorship

LLNL is extremely honored by FPA’s recognition of the scientific contributions of two of its FESP staff members in MFE and HEDLP/IFE

NDCX II (ARRA funded) project now under construction at LBNL
