The Fourth IAEA Technical Meeting (IAEA-TM) on Steady State Operation of Fusion Devices and MHD of advanced scenarios will be hosted by the Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, India from 1 February to 5 February 2005.

1. OBJECTIVES

The IAEA Technical Meeting on Steady State Operation of Magnetic Fusion Devices is a workshop for open discussions on physics and technology issues of steady state operation of magnetic fusion devices. The specific requirements associated with the construction and steady state operation of new machines shall be addressed. The scope of this meeting is to bring together the experts from the field of steady state operation to present results from existing long-pulse machines and discuss physical and technological aspects of new long-pulse machines.
The Technical Meeting will include plenary, invited and contributed papers.

2. MEETING FORMAT & TOPICS

The format of the meeting will be as follows:

  • Plenary Talks (45 minutes duration)

  • Invited Talks (30 minutes duration)

  • Oral Presentations (20 minutes duration)
