Laboratorio Nacional de Fusión

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.

Projects and research

• The TJ-II Project
• Materials studies
• TecnoFus
• TecnoFusión

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, such as:

• JET-EFDA
• ITER
