DESCRIPTION
Budget Balances. Cash Flow . The June balance after $3M funding will be either $383k ($538k behind the original schedule) or $-155k (depending on timing of RF progress payment 3 ) This has largely solved our cash flow problem for 2011, but a similar problem remains in 2012. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Cash Flow The June balance after $3M funding will be either
$383k ($538k behind the original schedule) or $-155k (depending on timing of RF progress payment 3 )This has largely solved our cash flow problem for 2011, but a similar problem
remains in 2012.Expenditure of the final $2M instalment in 9 months to June 2013 will be a
challenge.

Fusion Reactors – the route to ITER and DEMO
H-1 1m3
H-1 Heliac – a type of stellarator, an advanced plasma configuration more stable and more suitable for continuous operation than a tokamak. W7X (helias) operational in 2016
A Stellarator may be the preferred configuration for “DEMO”
Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility• Australia’s leading fusion-relevant facility• $30 million (ANU contribution ~$20 million) • Facility funding extended to 2013.
Infrastructure upgrade to
Mission:• Study physics of hot plasma in a helical magnetic container• Host development of advanced plasma measurement systems• Contribute to global research, maintain Australian presence in fusion
Improve suitability as a testbed for ITER diagnostics
Improve plasma production/reliability/cleanliness
Improving opportunities for collaboration
Improve data analysis + provide computational support
Improve diagnostics
New Initiative: Materials Diagnostic Test Facility Prototype• Explore effects of plasma on
advanced refractory materials• Joint ANU-ANSTO + USyd, UNew.++• Directly related to Gen 4 nuclear,
high temperature coal, solar• Uses H-1 power systems, diagnostics
• We are a world leader in plasma measurement science and technology
• Diagnostics are largely stand-alone modular systems well defined Australian contribution in scale & budget.

Why focus on diagnostics for ITER?
• ITER diagnostics are modular : components installed in multiple port-plugs
• Earlier discussions with ITER suggests integrated package:Erosion monitor (physics)Dust diagnostic (safety)Tritium analyser (licensing)
