±¬×ߺÚÁÏ

On 12 March, twenty American students from Bentley University (Boston) visited ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.

Their visit was part of a nine-day tour in France within the context of Bachelor of Science studies and a course on energy economics. Before coming to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ, they had visited French EDF electrical facilities.

 

The students' main interests concerned the economics of energy, but they also showed interest in the international nature of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ project. Philippe Chappuis from the Tokamak Directorate presented them with a wide overview of the technical challenges of the machine and the scientific collaboration.

 

One of the twenty-year-old students—Irene Pasquale, interested in working later on environmental matters—commented: "This giant project is awesome! It's really interesting to see the construction phase."

 

John Richard Tommasi, the professor accompanying the group, promised that his students would continue to follow ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ progress upon their return and that he would return with another group in the near future.
