The National Fusion Laboratory is part of CIEMAT.
The laboratory is dedicated to the development of fusion by magnetic confinement as a future energy generation option. Research is mainly centered on the Flexible Heliac TJ-II, and on materials studies.
History
Projects and research
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:
- JEN50 (Origin, currently being phased out)
- Lince (PC cluster)
- Fenix (PC cluster)
- Euler (PC cluster, 1152 Xeon cores, 13.8 Tflops)
- The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre
- BIFI (at the University of Zaragoza)
- EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-SciencE, a European computational grid)
- Ibercivis (Spanish computational grid)
Collaborations
The Laboratory participates in many international projects and collaborates with other institutions, such as:
Events
The Laboratory has organised many events, among which:
- The 21st Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT, 2000)
- The 9th EU-US Transport Task Force Meeting (TTF, 2002)
- The 32nd European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics (EPS, 2005)
