[[File:Logo Laboratorio.png|400px|thumb|right|Logo of the Laboratorio Nacional de Fusión]]
The National Fusion Laboratory is part of [[CIEMAT]].

The Laboratory is dedicated to the development of fusion by [[Magnetic confinement|magnetic confinement]] as a future energy generation option.
Research is mainly centered on the [[TJ-II|Flexible Heliac TJ-II]], and on materials studies.

== History ==

In 1975, a research group is created at the JEN (later to become [[CIEMAT]]) to study the subject of fusion.
In 1983, the small tokamak [[TJ-I]] is taken into operation, followed by the torsatron [[TJ-IU]] in 1994, and the flexible heliac [[TJ-II]] in 1999.

== Organization ==

== Projects and research ==

* [[TJ-II|The TJ-II Project]]
* [[LNF:Plasma Physics|Plasma Physics at the LNF]]
* [[LNF:Technology|Fusion Technology Division]]
** [[TECNO_FUS]]
** [[TechnoFusión]]

== Educational and training activities ==

The LNF is strongly committed with the education and training of new researchers in the field of magnetic fusion science and technology. It keeps a close collaboration on post-graduate teaching activities with Universities [http://www.uc3m.es Carlos III], [http://www.ucm.es Complutense] and [http://www.upm.es Politécnica de Madrid]. CIEMAT participates with these two latter institutions in the [http://www.campusmoncloa.es Campus de Excelencia Moncloa]. In the last ten years, in average, three to four PhD thesis/year and four Master Thesis/year are being successfully finished in the LNF facilities.

The LNF is a major Spanish partner of the "European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics ([[Fusion-EP]])", under the auspices of the [http://www.em-master-fusion.org/index.asp?p=162&a=162 Erasmus Mundus].
In this Master course, international students have six month-stays at LNF and receive lectures given by its staff, among others.
LNF is also actively participating in a new Erasmus Mundus programme-related initiative, the [http://www.em-fusion-dc.org Fusion-Doctoral College] recently established to host PhD students and supervise their thesis.
In both programmes, LNF participates in close collaboration with several national ([http://www.ucm.es Complutense] and [http://www.uc3m.es Carlos III], Madrid) and international universities and research institutions ([http://www.ugent.be/ Ghent Univ.], [http://www.univ-lorraine.fr Lorraine Univ.], [http://www.uni-stuttgart.de Stuttgart Univ.], [www.unipd.it/en/ Padova Univ.], [http://www.ist.utl.pt/en Instituto Superior Tecnico] (Lisbon), [http://irfm.cea.fr/gb/ ‎IRFM-CEA], [http://www.ipp.mpg.de IPP-Garching and IPP-Greifswald]).

== Computer resources ==

Due to the large computational needs of the Laboratory, it makes use of both internal and external resources through collaborations:

* The CIEMAT computing centre, with the following computers:
** Fenix (SGI Altix system w/ Itanium processors, currently being phased out)
** Euler (Dell HPC cluster, 1152 Xeon cores, 13.8 Tflops)
* [http://www.bsc.es/ The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre]

* [http://www.computaex.es/ LUSITANIA]
* [http://bifi.unizar.es/ BIFI] (at the University of Zaragoza)
* [http://www.ibercivis.es/ Ibercivis] (Spanish computational grid)

== Collaborations ==

The Laboratory participates in many international projects and collaborates with other institutions, such as:
* [https://www.euro-fusion.org/ EuroFusion]
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER ITER]
* [[W7-X]]
