EUROBREED: Difference between revisions

The overall objective of the goal oriented training (GOT) Programme EUROBREED is helping to provide the necessary broad expert basis to successfully conduct the European Breeding blanket development programme along with [[ITER]] and the developments beyond ITER, i.e., for a fusion power reactor, comprising the development of the optimum breeder and neutron multiplier materials, the design of specific breeder blanket components for future fusion reactors, and testing the breeding blanket in ITER. The EUROBREED programme, jointly conducted since end 2008 by KIT, AEUL, CEA, [[CIEMAT]], ENEA, FOM/NRG, HAS and UKAEA, consists of eight Work Packages (WP) entailing each a different discipline (WP, see Table 1). Each of the WPs represents a training programme unit for a trainee that is employed in the WP leader association. The basis trainee’s programme consists of educational units (about 1/3 of the time) in which the trainee attends courses in fusion technology and on the particular research field. The rest of the time is dedicated to a participation to technical work in which the trainee proceeds along, and enhances, already existing projects of the associations in the framework of the European Breeder Blanket Programme.
