Support for the 2019 IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering

This award provided financial support to help cover program-related expenses for the 2019 IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering (SOFE-2019), which was held 2-6 June 2019 near Jacksonville, FL. The SOFE is a biennial conference that enables fusion engineers from around the world to report on their work and stay current with the latest developments in fusion R&D, both physics and engineering. The symposium was sponsored by the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an international professional society whose members today span a wide range of disciplines. The IEEE Fusion Technology Standing Committee (FTC), most of whose members are involved in DOE Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) sponsored work, were responsible for organizing the SOFE. The SOFE has been the leading conference of choice for U.S. fusion engineers since its founding in 1965. In recent years, attendance has been growing as the conference has attracted greater participation of fusion researchers from other countries, especially from Asia but also from Europe and from the international ITER project, both central team and domestic agencies. This trend benefits U.S. participants by providing a forum to learn about the world’s most advanced fusion engineering activities and to strengthen collaborative ties with colleagues.

Second Symposium on Protection Against Radiations in Space

All space vehicles will be exposed to natural charged particle radiation fields. The effects and possible problems imposed by such radiations are of great concern to those actively engaged in the exploration of space. Materials and components, which may be damaged by the radiation, frequently can be replaced by more radiation resistant items; however, replacement systems are not always possible or practical and, hence, protective measures in the form of shielding must be employed. (One of the more radiation-sensitive systems to be flown in space is man himself.) Many groups are engaged in research on the attenuation and penetration of high-energy space radiation and on the development of methods for the design of shielding which affords protection against the radiation. The purpose of the Second Symposium on Protection Against Radiations in Space, like that of the First, was to bring these groups together to exchange information and share ideas. These proceedings are the written record of the Second Symposium. Invited papers covering the space radiation environment, radiobiological effects, and radiation effects on materials and components comprised the first three sessions. By defining the radiation problems in space and providing for the proper assessment of the radiation effects and shielding requirements, these papers helped to establish the necessary background for the shielding papers which followed in the fourth session.

Commentary on the 1985 NASA/Vanderbilt Symposium on Future Hypervelocity Flight Requirements

The discussion, started in Semiannual Status Report Number 1, on aerothermal problems of hypervelocity flight and experiments that may lead to significant improvements in analytical/computational predictive methods, continues. The commentary is based on presentations made by speakers at a symposium on this subject held in December 1985. Symposium participants focused on the serious deficiencies that exist in knowledge of real-gas, nonequilibrium thermochemical-kinetic processes, catalytic processes, surface and shock slip, gas/surface interaction, boundary layer transition, and vortical leeside flows under hypervelocity conditions. Programs of laboratory research and computations leading toward in-flight experiments were recommended. Feasibility of appropriate measurement techniques for the flight environment was assessed and problems for study in that area identified. A synopsis of the oral presentations is given.
