In this spirit, the Subpanels are charged as follows: 



Subpanel for Planning and Collaboration on Major New Fusion Research 

 Facilities (EC and USA Co-leaderiy 



In consideration of Paragraph No. 22 of the 1984 Report mentioned above, the 

 Subpanel shall initiate the process of identifying the nature and the timing 

 of the facilities required to establish the feasibility of fusion, taking 

 account of the existing national and regional facilities and activities. 

 The Subpanel shall attempt to identify potential opportunities for sharing 

 of responsibility during further planning and in preparation for future 

 development. 



Subpanel for Near-term Fusion Physics and Technology 



The activities in near-term fusion physics and technology divide naturally 

 into Physics, Technology, and Reactor Concept Improvements. The terms of 

 reference and charges for each Subgroup are the following: 



(1) Physics. (Examples: collaborative experiments, diagnostics, heating, 

 codes, etc.) (Dr. P. Fasella, European Communities, Leader) 



This is the area in which international collaboration in fusion is most 

 active. Examples range from exchange of ideas and personnel to joint 

 experiments on common facilities. A substantial increase of 

 collaboration on fusion physics appears to be feasible in the future, 

 leading to benefits for all participants. 



Charge: This Subpanel should identify key physics areas where 

 increased collaboration would be most beneficial, both on present and 

 planned facilities. 



(2) Technology. (Examples: magnets, tritium, materials, blankets, etc.). 

 (Dr. M. Wada, Japan, Leader) 



We note that technology development is an important area where there 

 is potential for increased international collaboration in fusion. Such 

 collaborations will be particularly, beneficial when the activities are 

 focussed on the technology requirements and/or components of existing 

 and planned facilities. 



. Charge: The Subpanel should identify key technology areas where 



increased international collaboration would be beneficial and minimize 

 duplication taking present national plans for fusion energy development 

 into account.
