Australian scientists launch fusion strategy
On 14 August, a group of 130 scientists and engineers united in the Australian ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Forum, launched a strategic plan for fusion science and engineering, which outlines the path towards an Australian involvement in ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ. The launch event was held in Parliament House in Canberra. The plan calls for an investment of 38 million Euro over 10 years.
Physicist Matthew Hole, chairman of the Australian ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Forum, described ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ as the world's largest science project. The money would be spent on fellowships and travel for scientists working directly on the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ project or on ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ-related science and would also fund Australian scientists to build a component for the reactor.
