FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: Raymond Fonck, (608) 263-7799; fonck@engr.wisc.edu
UW-MADISON PROFESSOR TO COORDINATE U.S. FUSION SCIENCE EFFORT
MADISON - A University of Wisconsin-Madison professor will be the liaison between United States plasma and fusion science researchers and a group that is building the U.S. share of ITER, an international fusion experiment that eventually could lead to an abundant, economical and environmentally benign energy source.
On May 24, the seven international ITER participants initialed an agreement to construct the experiment. The U.S. Department of Energy and its ITER Project Office - which stands for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor - recently named engineering physics Professor Raymond Fonck chief scientist for the U.S. portion of the project.
In his role as chief scientist, Fonck will help the project office answer scientific questions that arise as the project develops. For that, he will don his hat as director of the U.S. Burning Plasma Organization (USBPO) - a national organization of researchers in the fusion community that studies the properties of magnetically confined burning fusion plasmas, the ionized gasses that drive fusion-energy production.
"So, if there are issues that arise, and they have to be resolved in the design of the device, you engage the science and engineering community here in this country to help answer those questions," Fonck says.
A project designed to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power, ITER will be constructed in Cadarache, France, beginning in 2007. It involves researchers from the United States, China, the European Union, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation.
Fonck says one of his biggest challenges will be to establish and maintain a communication structure that enables U.S. plasma researchers to interact effectively with the U.S. ITER Project Office and with international fusion researchers. He will help identify U.S. ITER research needs and identify plasma researchers who can help fill those needs.
In addition, he also will help communicate requests from U.S. plasma researchers for activities in the international ITER organization that advance the project's interests. "We want to help make sure the proper capabilities are available when needed to satisfy our - and our partners' - research interests," says Fonck.
He is among several UW-Madison faculty and staff members involved with ITER and the U.S. Burning Plasma Organization. Researchers in the Fusion Technology Institute are conducting the U.S. share of the ITER neutronics analysis, while engineering physics assistant professor Dennis Whyte is studying how the plasma affects the reactor's interior wall and is leader of the USBPO plasma-boundary group. Engineering physics professor Chris Hegna is a deputy leader of the USBPO stability group and physics professor Paul Terry is leader of the USBPO transport group.
At UW-Madison, Fonck will continue to advise students and maintain his own plasma research program. Although his roles as chief scientist for the U.S. ITER Project Office and director of the USBPO are, he says, a big commitment and responsibility, they also demonstrate UW-Madison researchers' dedication to the future of fusion. "It shows that we're very serious about being deeply involved in this new direction in the fusion program," he says.

PHYSICISTS PERSEVERE IN QUEST FOR INEXHAUSTIBLE ENERGY SOURCE
MADISON - As gas prices soar and greenhouse gases continue to blanket the atmosphere, the need for a clean, safe and cheap source of energy has never seemed more pressing.
Scientists have long worked to meet that need, exploring alternative energy technologies such as wind and solar power. But, after decades of quiet progress, the spotlight is now on another potentially inexhaustible energy source.
Seven countries signed an agreement in Brussels last week (May 24) to launch construction of the multibillion dollar International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in southern France. The largest fusion-energy experiment ever conducted, ITER is the culmination of years of research by scores of scientists, and is poised to answer long-standing questions about the real-world viability of fusion energy. The United States, China, the European Union, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation are joint sponsors of the project, which will experimentally generate up to 500 million watts of energy.
An international collective of physicists and engineers is working to both complement and lend expertise directly to the ITER initiative - and researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are firmly placed among them.
"[ITER] is a major threshold that we've been waiting to get to for 20 years," says Raymond Fonck, a UW-Madison professor of engineering physics and the chief scientist of ITER's U.S. project office. "The project is the No. 1 priority in fusion research in the country and the world, and essentially takes us to a regime we've never been to before."
Fusion energy describes the energy that is released when atomic particles "fuse" together to form heavier particles. The process is fundamental to our universe, fueling both the sun and the stars. Here on Earth, physicists have tried to harness the energy potential of nuclear fusion by working with plasma, essentially a collection of particles, such as hydrogen nuclei, that carry electric charge. Because hydrogen can be easily extracted from seawater - a cheap and abundant resource - scientists have been tantalized by the prospect of plasma one day serving as an inexhaustible fuel.
But plasma has to be very, very hot - on the order of millions of degrees - for its gas particles to efficiently collide and release energy. "Basically, we're trying to make a sun here on Earth," says Stewart Prager, a UW-Madison physics professor, who also advises the U.S. government on national fusion-energy research. "But it turns out to be one of the most difficult scientific problems in the world."
One of the biggest hurdles, of course, is finding a container that can hold searing hot plasma without burning down itself. Scientists have been working around the problem by using invisible magnetic fields to hold the plasma in place, but they are still searching for the most efficient and optimal ways to do it.
UW-Madison scientists are delving into pure physics and engineering research questions surrounding the issue. Their work both complements ITER's goals and, in a sense, looks one step beyond it.
Prager and his team, for instance, run the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) - the largest fusion-energy experiment on campus. Shaped like a donut, the MST holds plasma heated to 10 million degrees. But instead of using a strong magnetic field to hold the plasma, Prager is exploring whether weaker - and therefore more economical - magnetic fields could accomplish the same task. The work has led to new insights about properties of plasma, and, in turn, has given rise to unique partnerships with astrophysicists, who are using the MST to explore basic questions about the plasma around black holes, galactic discs and other mysterious happenings of the solar system.
"We are now starting to appreciate and explore links between plasmas in the lab and plasmas in the universe, which is really interesting," Prager says.
Working with a device known as Pegasus, Fonck and his group are also exploring weaker magnetic fields, but are approaching the issue in a different way.
Unlike the donut shape of the MST, the plasma within Pegasus looks more like a ball with a small hole in it, which influences how the plasma behaves. Fonck's work relies on the same fundamental physics that is at the heart of ITER's design, and could one day lead to new methods for testing large-scale components in future fusion reactors.
David Anderson, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and another plasma researcher at UW-Madison, recently made waves when he designed a new device that holds plasma within a magnetic field, without an electric current in the plasma to power the field.
"The current is running in external wires and not in the plasma itself, and that represents a tremendous engineering advantage," says Anderson, who works with a plasma instrument known as the Helically Symmetric eXperiment, the only machine of its kind in the world. Plasma can become unstable in the presence of a current, so Anderson is exploring ways to trick the plasma into staying in place by twisting the surrounding magnetic field into a special - and highly complicated - shape.
"It's very exciting to work on something that's totally new and offers potential advantages to the field," says Anderson. "A lot of what we're all doing here in Wisconsin is looking for what the next research steps will be beyond ITER. In that way, we really do have a unique place in the world's fusion-energy research program."
