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
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
Organization and personnel
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 (SGI Origin system, already phased out)
- Lince (HPC cluster)
- Fenix (SGI Altix system w/ Itanium processors, currently being phased out)
- Euler (Dell HPC cluster, 1152 Xeon cores, 13.8 Tflops)
- The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre
- The Spanish Supercomputing Network
- LUSITANIA
- 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:
- JET-EFDA
- ITER
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory
- NIFS
- JT-60SA
- Universidad Carlos III, Madrid
- Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica
- Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI), Universidad de Zaragoza
- Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC)
Events
The Laboratory has organised many events, among which:
- The 21<sup>st</sup> Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT, 2000)
- The 9<sup>th</sup> EU-US Transport Task Force Meeting (TTF, 2002)
- The 32<sup>nd</sup> European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics (EPS, 2005)
- The 15<sup>th</sup> International Stellarator Workshop (ISW, 2005)
- The 12<sup>th</sup> European Fusion Theory Conference (EFTC, 2008)
- The 18<sup>th</sup> Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions (PSI, 2008)
- The 3<sup>rd</sup> EFDA Transport Topical Group meeting and 15<sup>th</sup> EU-US Transport Task Force Meeting (TTG-TTF, 2010)
