6. Page 6 EPICS Collaboration Meeting – Aix-en-Provence - 1.-3. June 2010 Fusion Fuel Raw fuel of a fusion reactor is water and lithium* Lithium in one laptop battery + half a bath-full of ordinary water (-> one egg cup full of heavy water) 200,000 kW-hours = (current UK electricity production)/(population of the UK) for 30 years * Deuterium/hydrogen = 1/6700 + tritium from: neutron (from fusion) + lithium  tritium + helium

June 2010 EPICS for ITER Decision taken about 16 month ago Consequences: –We have to convince and sell to achieve acceptance –We don’t have very much time … –We have to learn from the community to use it the good way –We have to show ITER to the community –We organized the spring collaboration meeting 2010 in AIX –We are happy to have received: 113 registrations 52 affiliations 9 companies 33 contributions

18. Page 18 EPICS Collaboration Meeting – Aix-en-Provence - 1.-3. June 2010 Collaboration Collaborating means taking and giving Giving –ITER surely will contribute to the community –We could become an active contributor to CSS and an OO service layer –Today ITER disseminates EPICS to the fusion community –… more to come Taking –For a fast start up we take what the community has produced –…and we thank the community for giving us this possibility Having said that …
