AS Physics Trip to JET Nuclear Fusion Research Facilities

AS Physics Trip to JET Nuclear Fusion Research Facilities

On Wednesday 16 June 2010, 13 Lower Sixth Physics students from Salesian College spent the afternoon at the UKAEA Joint European Taurus (JET) & Mega-Amp Spherical Tokomak (MAST) Nuclear Fusion research facilities in Culham, Oxfordshire.  During the visit, students were given a talk on nuclear fusion, presentations on current research and a tour of the MAST and JET fusion experiments.  All concerned gained a better understanding of the nuclear fusion process and the conditions required to enable fusion to take place. The students had a fantastic opportunity to see a world-renowned nuclear research facility and the experience will enrich and support the A2 topics covered next year on Nuclear Radiation and Astrophysics.
