<p>School is back in session in France! And at the International School of Manosque, students in the Chinese Section are the beneficiaries of a new set of textbooks thanks to the generosity of the Chinese Domestic Agency, which shipped ten boxes of books and materials in time for the new school year.</p>

<p>Andrew Crusoe takes the listeners of the ASCENDANT podcast on site at ITER in August to explore the power and potential of fusion, and find out how ITER is posed "to create technology that will allow an abundance of clean, renewable energy."</p> <p>ITER Communication's Sabina Griffith explains how interest in fusion got started, why it stalled after the oil crises of the 1970s, and why it is so important. Is fusion energy the key to our green, renewable future?</p> <p><em><strong>You can listen to the 45-minute podcast "Live at ITER: A Sun in a Bottle &amp; The Way to Our Fusion Future" (ASCENDANT podcast 1:13)&nbsp;<a href="https://myth.li/podcasts/">at this link</a>.</strong></em></p>

<p>Registration for the <strong>15th&nbsp;International Workshop on Beryllium Technology</strong> (BeWS-15) and the <strong>9th Industrial Forum on Beryllium Opportunities &amp; New Developments</strong> (BeYOND-IX) closes this week on Wednesday 31 August. See&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fusion.kit.edu/bews15/">this link</a>&nbsp;for all information.</p> <p>The workshops are organized by Kartlsruhe Institute of Technology and will be held in conjunction with the 32nd&nbsp;SOFT-2022, which is taking place in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from 18 to 23 September 2022 (<a href="https://soft2022.eu/">https://soft2022.eu</a&gt;). Sessions on fusion blanket design, breeder/mulitplier materials, and risks and regulations are planned as part of the <a href="https://www.fusion.kit.edu/bews15/index.php/workshop-program/">program<…; <p><em><strong>See all information <a href="https://www.fusion.kit.edu/bews15/">here</a>.</strong></em></p&gt;

<p><strong><em>On 3 August 2022, the last of 14 trucks of Russian electrotechnical equipment was delivered to ITER at the DAHER warehouse in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, where mid-sized components are stored pending their transfer to the ITER site.</em></strong></p> <p>The delivery included a large number of high-current DC busbars (photo), which provide power supply to the ITER magnet system superconducting coils and are designed for long-term flow of direct current at 55 kA. In addition, DC switches, energy-dissipating resistors, and elements of control and cooling systems were part of the shipment. All of the equipment is destined for one of ITER's most crucial systems—power supply, without which it would be impossible to reach First Plasma.&nbsp;</p> <p>The material represented the 25th delivery of electrotechnical equipment developed and manufactured at the Efremov Institute (NIIEFA) in Saint Petersburg on behalf of the ROSATOM State Corporation. The manufacturing is being carried out under the terms of the Procurement Arrangement for switching networks, fast discharge units, DC busbars and instrumentation, concluded in 2011 between the ITER Organization and Russian Domestic Agency.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>--ITER Russia</em></p>

<p>On Tuesday 18 October 2022, the London Science Museum will host <strong>FUSION22: The World Needs Fusion Energy</strong>. This hybrid event, which can be attended on line or in person, will showcase the&nbsp;incredible developments taking place in fusion all over the world.&nbsp;</p> <p>"Whether you're coming to fusion energy for the first time or have been involved in its development since the beginning, you'll find engaging, thought provoking and insightful sessions to fit your needs," say the organizers of the event. Events planned throughout the day include: "What Fusion Needs: Solutions To Technical Challenges,"How Will Fusion Make The Transition To An Industry?" and&nbsp;"The Energy Jigsaw: Where Does Fusion Fit Into The Future Energy Mix?"</p> <p><em><strong>The event is free.
