International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA)Framework for internationally coordinated fusion research activities

§ The ITPA operates under the auspices of ITER§ The Participants in the ITPA are the Members of ITER§Organization:

§ Coordinating Committee§ Seven Topical Physics Groups; FinnFusion membership in

§ Energetic Particles (Taina Kurki-Suonio)§ Transport & Confinement (Tuomas Tala)§ In addition several experts also in SOL & Divertor

§ Nearly all tokamaks implement ITPA Joint Experiments in theirprogramsà Broad physics basis essential for the ITER design and forprogress toward fusion energy in general
