A party of 47 employees from AREVA's Mining Projects Division, some from Nigeria, Namibia, Kazakhstan and Canada, visited the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ site last Thursday.
At its "AREVA Campus" in Aix, the French nuclear conglomerate hosts training sessions and seminars. Last week, the annual meeting of AREVA's Mining Projects Division included a visit to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.
Before visiting the platform, the party of 47 AREVA employees—some from Nigeria, Namibia, Kazakhstan and Canada—was given a presentation of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Project by David Campbell, the Assistant Deputy Director-General for Fusion Science & Technology.
Most participants reacted like Carla Ramage-Robert, from AREVA's Human Resource Division: "We didn't know much about ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ and fusion, but now we measure just how revolutionary this project is. We are used to rather large projects ... but this is something else!"
