Grove became one of the senior physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and in 1982 was appointed project manager for the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor. In 1985 he was awarded the United States Department of Energy's Distinguished Associate Award in recognition of his leadership in the design, construction and operation of TFTR, and in the following year, received the American Nuclear Society's Outstanding Achievement Award.
at the University of Texas in 1988, Ed joined the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), where he worked on the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) and later the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) until joining LLNL in January 2006.
Goldston led the lab through the construction of PPPL's National Spherical Toms Experiment (NSTX) ahead of schedule; the decommissioning below budget of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), one of the world's largest magnetic fusion devices; the beginning of construction of the innovative National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) fusion plasma confinement facility; the introduction of advanced computing to the lab's theory department; and a broadening of the lab's plasma science and technology activities.
Reardon, who was Project Manager for the construction of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) during the late 1970s and into the early 1980s, died December 12 at his home in Princeton, New Jersey.
Hawryluk, the Board noted his scientific leadership previously of the Princeton Large Toms (PLT), Princeton Divertor Experiment (PDX) and
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) projects and, more recently, the National Spherical Torus (NSTX) and National Compact Stellarator (NCSX) projects.
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) operations Terminated 10 Years ago-The construction of TFTR was started in March 1976 as part of a major US Energy R&D effort in response to the Gulf oil embargo of the mid-1970s.
The conferees note that the fiscal year 2002 funding level included $19,604,000 for the completion of decontamination and decommissioning of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), leaving $228,891,000 available for fusion research and facility operations in fiscal year 2002.
fusion program during the period of its rapid buildup in the mid-1970s including the initiation of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, critiqued the program in a presentation November 18 to the National Academies Burning Plasma Assessment Committee (FPN0253 & 54).
Decommissioning and removal of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has been successfully completed.
In addition to the $9.8 M increase to the OFES fusion budget, that effort will have available to it an additional $19.6 M for new work due to the completion of decommissioning of the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) facility at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).
Ken Young For your role as the leader of diagnostics development for the
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), your subsequent contributions to the breakthrough measurements which are the TFTR legacy, and your very real efforts in behalf of collaborative fusion physics research, both within the U.S.
