CSC

The Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) operates a supercomputer system called Helios. With the peak performance of 1.936 PFlop/s attained by Helios, CSC provides support for fusion scientists in EU and Japan.

REC

Remote Experimentation Centre (REC) aims to facilitate a broad participation of scientists in ITER experiments; its activity includes the development of remote experimentation techniques for burning tokamak plasmas to be tested on existing machines, such as JT-60SA.

International Fusion Energy Research Centre

International Fusion Energy Research Centre The International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) is one of three projects in the Broader Approach (BA) Activities: IFERC, IFMIF/EVEDA and STP.

The 20th International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) Project Committee (IFERC PC-20) meeting was held at Rokkasho on 22nd – 23rd March, in conjunction with the 5th CSC Review Meeting and CSC closing ceremony.

 IFERC 

The Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) was established in the IFERC Centre in Rokkasho, and has provided to the EU and Japan fusion communities a state-of the art supercomputer and free operation and support for five years, between 2012 and 2016.

The 2nd Intermediate report (2nd-IR) of BA DDA was published in Feb. 2017, and summarized the progress of common research topics in DDA after the 1st Intermediate report. The 2nd-IR emphasizes the design integration and impact on DEMO system design, as well as progress in subjects and component design.
