ICTS

The TJ-II stellarator, Materials Characterization Laboratory and Materials Irradiation Laboratory form a Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure, defined by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities as "exceptional facilities that are unique. They develop cutting-edge and top-quality research, and act as centres for transmitting, exchanging and preserving knowledge, transferring technology and promoting innovation. The ICTS have three key characteristics: they are publicly-owned, they are unique and open to competitive access."

The inclusion of the facilities in this list is reviewed in a four year period, the reviewing process is shown in the following link. (Enter at your own risk, it is just paperwork to help the reviewing process).
