The CEA strategy
ST1: Participating in the realisation of ITER and the Broader Approach projects
a wide spectrum to maintain at national level a global assessment capability on fusion energy development

The CEA strategy
IRFM overall challenge, a progressive and challenging transition to a fusion research focused on ITER
IRFM overall challenge, a progressive and challenging transition to a fusion research focused on ITER
M3: Securing the resources necessary in achieving these aims.
M2: Developing strong national, European and international networks and initiating close industrial cooperation
M1: Adapting its organisation and its manpower

CEA strategy implementation guidelines
• Direct contribution to the development and construction of ITER, and of BA elements
• Preparation of the scientific exploitation of ITER: Heating and current drive, PFC’s,…, and key physics issues (turbulence, ELMs, disruption mitigation, plasma control …) by dedicating Tore Supra to this aim and prototyping the relevant tools
• Keeping a high standard at the forefront of physics activity (experiment and theory/modelling)
CEA also aims at developing a global vision of fusion as a potential energy source (long term aim): reactor studies have been re-activated
CEA has the ambition to be a major contributor, to the experimental scientific and operational program of ITER.

TITAN
JET
W7-X
Selected Topics:
•Control of long pulse discharges in actively cooled environment,
•Platforms&test facilities for ITER
•Integrated modelling,
•Plasma engineering & real time control
•Ab initio simulations
Institute for Magnetic Fusion Research – Roadmap workshop – 13/04/2011 12/16
• Proposal: Turn Tore Supra into a Test Bed besides ITER, dedicated mostly to tungsten (W) actively cooled PFCs (requires an X-point configuration)
• Motivation:– Risk minimisation (manufacturing and operation) on ITER relevant technology– Unique capability within the decade– Key for ITER, but also for EAST,JT60-SA, W7X...
• Feasability study achieved in 2010, welcomed by high level international panel and by French Gvt Evaluation panel; conceptual study underway
A mutation of the Tore Supra Facility is proposed

GYSELAElectric potential Fluctuations
• Through intensive collaborations (Fédération de Recherche, EU, …) IRFM is participating to a world class tools development, with a strong focus on its scientific outputs
• HPCs yield access to ab initio calculations, allowing to address fully developed tokamak physics (« numerical tokamak » + confrontation to experiment)
