In December 2021 the JET tokamak broke the world record for fusion power. Pulse #99971 achieved total fusion energy of 59 MJ¡ªmore than doubling JET's 1997 record.

STARMAKERS: The Energy Of Tomorrow tells the story of this achievement. It takes the viewer behind the scenes of the landmark European fusion experiment to show how scientists and engineers overcame incredible obstacles to move the world one step closer to a future of clean, safe, cheap and unlimited energy.

The European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics (FUSION-EP) is a two-year Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) funded by the European Union. Focusing on the physics and technology of nuclear fusion as an energy source, it offers research-oriented education in engineering physics, offered by a consortium of eight European universities in Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany and Spain.

The curriculum is organized in two periods of increasing specialization, each in two different countries, along two distinct tracks: Fusion Sciences and Fusion Technology.

Students from all countries can apply. The selection procedure does not make any distinction between EU students and students coming from outside the EU. Scholarships are available to top-ranked students that cover the participation fee and offer a monthly allowance for the two years.

The campaign for the program beginning autumn 2024 is underway now. Apply before 15 February 2024 on the FUSION EP .

The 15th ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Neutronics Meeting and Fusion Neutronics Workshop 2024 will be held at ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Headquarters from 8 to 10 April 2024.

The workshop will provide the opportunity for the fusion neutronics community to discuss recent advancements, issues and successes in the field.

Considering work underway in startups on alternative fusion concepts, progress on other technologies such as inertial fusion, and recent advancements (codes, shielding materials, etc.), the workshop seeks to broaden participation beyond ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ/DEMO scope. We encourage young researchers and fusion start-ups to participate in this event and present their work.

Planned topics include:

• Neutronics related to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ
• Nuclear-radiation-related safety issues (safety margins/uncertainties, code qualification)
• Computational tools and nuclear data relevant for nuclear fusion (transport codes, activation codes, CAD/MCNP converting tools ...)
• Dose reduction methods and optimization, ALARA
• Shielding materials
• Material damage, nuclear heating, radioactive waste production and management 
• Accelerator-driven neutron sources for fusion applications
• Activated corrosion products
• Nuclear licensing for fusion reactors 
• Neutronics beyond ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ (DEMO, fusion power plants, alternate fusion schemes)

This meeting will be held primarily in-person but a few online presentations/participations are also possible. Subject to conditions, this workshop also includes ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ construction site visit.

On Friday 2 February, the Royal Institution in London is hosting a public discussion on "The latest developments in fusion energy."

At this in-person and live-streamed event, co-hosted by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), distinguished experts Fernanda Rimini (UKAEA), Pietro Barabaschi (Director-General of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Project), and Tammy Ma (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) will take participants on a journey into the heart of fusion research and the most recent and groundbreaking discoveries in this leading-edge field.
