International Collaborations

International collaborations provide access to experiments and knowledge that are unavailable in the US program. In the ICRF area, ORNL has participated in collaborations with many international laboratories.

 

We get to

  • use the extensive experimental facilities of the institution
  • participate in the experimental program of the institution and gain knowledge from their experience
  • test innovative concepts and/or hardware of ours on a functioning fusion device

 

In return, the international collaborator gets to

  • use our expertise to help solve problems particular to their experiment
  • sometimes use hardware that we supply

We have carried out collaborations with:

 

JET
  • Tuning an matching calculations and help with SLIMP testing
  • Design, fabrication and testing of High-Power Prototype Antenna for JET-EP
Tore Supra
ASDEX Upgrade
  • Collaboration on design of new high-power antenna for installation in ~2003
