The XI ITER Neutronics Meeting takes place this week (the 23^rd to the 27^th May 2016) in Karlsruhe, Germany. Approximately 110 experts from around the world, including Carles Riera from the BSC Fusion group, attend the meeting to present and discuss:

Recent results of ITER neutronics analyses,
Nuclear integration issues for ITER,
Developments in radiation transport simulation and modelling relevant to ITER,
Neutronic experiments, measurements, and related issues relevant to ITER.

The meeting is organised by the Fusion Neutronics Group of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

On May 4th – 6th, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center held the 3rd BSC International Doctoral Symposium. The opening was done by Mateo Valero, founder and director of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

The Symposium, aimed mostly to PhD and Postdoc students, gave them an opportunity to show their work and understand more about the research done in different fields interrelated with High Performance Computing.

Meeting on the JOREK collaboration

April 21, 2016January 30, 2017

Last week, on 13 April 2016, our Fusion group member Shimpei Futatani visited the INRIA Sophia Antipolis, Nice, France, to participate the 2^nd JOREK General Meeting.

Shimpei presented his recent work of the ELM triggering by a pellet in ASDEX Upgrade plasma. The visit was not only for the presentation, but also for the useful discussions with the fusion scientists and the mathematicians from all around Europe who work on the JOREK code.

CIEMAT TJ-II at Madrid, Spain, is the 2nd largest facility for 3D fusion research after W7-X within Europe.

PhD student Allah Rakha from our fusion group visited the TJ-II for one week (April 4-8, 2016) in order to participate with theory group for the modelling of 3D physics of Alfvenic activity in the flexible Heliac TJ-II. This trip was the part of his PhD studies to learn 3D codes for the modelling of TJ-II data.
