Present status of the Broader Approach activities in Japan

Okumura, Yoshikazu

The Broader Approach (BA) activities aim at complementing the ITER project and at an early realization of fusion energy by carrying out R&D and developing some advanced technologies for the future demonstration power reactor (DEMO). They consist of (1) Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF/EVEDA) project, (2) International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC) project, and (3) Satellite Tokamak Program. A new research center named International Fusion Energy Research Center has been established in Rokkasho, Aomori. The construction of the research buildings has been completed in March 2010. Installation of the experimental equipments for the DEMO R&D, and the accelerator components for the IFMIF/EVEDA project are under fabrication. A high performance computer with 1 Peta flops will be opertional in January 2012 for the simulation of the burning plasma, etc.
