The 21st IEEE/NPSS Symposium
on Fusion Engineering (SOFE05) will take place September 26-29,
2005 at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. The Symposium
is dedicated to the scientific, technological and engineering issues
of fusion energy research and presents a mixture of oral presentations
and poster sessions allowing for extensive interactions among the
participants. The conference is open to the public, and all individuals
with an interest in fusion energy are invited to register and attend.
The meeting is being organized by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The SOFE05 conference General Chair is Nermin Uckan. The Technical
Program Chair is David Rasmussen and the chairman of the Local Organizing
Committee is Steve Combs. David Swain is the Publications Chair
and Gwen Green is the conference coordinator. The organization of
the technical program is similar to previous conferences in this
series, with plenary sessions in the first part of each morning
followed by late morning parallel sessions with oral invited and
contributed presentations in selected technical areas. The oral
presentations continue in the early afternoon, followed by poster
sessions. A special session will include presentations on the expected
US scope for ITER (See the article by Phil Heitzenroeder under Technical
Committee Reports).
Submissions in all areas of magnetic fusion energy (MFE) and inertial
fusion energy (IFE) are sought, including: •Experimental devices
and new device design •Reactor studies •Plasma facing
components •Plasma materials interactions for IFE, MFE and
alternates •Targets for IFE and alternates •Chambers,
vacuum vessels and pumping for IFE, MFE and alternates •Blankets,
and shields for IFE, MFE and alternates •Diagnostics, data
acquisition, and plasma control systems •Safety and environmental
engineering •Heating and current drive •Plasma fueling
•Tritium handling systems •IFE drivers and related technologies
•Magnet engineering for IFE, MFE and alternates •Materials
assembly, fabrication, and maintenance •Power systems •Electromagnetics
and electromechanics.
