22 & 23 October 2020
The 26th Project Committee (PC#26) was held at Rokkasho IFERC Site on October 22nd and 23rd and by video conference. An update of the project status was presented as well as the outlook for 2021.
The main topics discussed were the progress since the last PC#25 and how the Team has adapted to the constraints imposed by the situation with the Covid-19 outbreak. The following main outcomes were reported:
- Steady progress for the preparation of the beam commissioning at high duty cycle with a deuteron beam at 5 MeV;
- Start of the commissioning phase of the individual systems;
- New features to allow the remote participation access to the LIPAc beam operation.
In the frame of the new phase of the Broader Approach, the resuming of the engineering design activities for the fusion neutron source was presented with objectives for the next 5 years.
