 took place during calendar year 1983.

Assignment-days" refers to the total number of days all 



scientists spend in long-term assignments at all facili- 

 ties. For example, if two scientists are assigned to 

 a facility for 30 and 40 days respectively, the number of 

 assignment-days is 70. 



In the same time period, Japanese scientists will also spend 

 an additional 4,100 days participating in the Doublet-Ill and 

 Rotating Target Neutron Source joint projects described in the 

 following section. In exchange for Japanese participation in 

 these projects, the U.S. program is receiving about $84 million 

 over 10 years. 



Joint projects 



Exchanges may also be arranged as joint projects under 

 formal government-to-government bilateral or. multilateral agree- 

 ments. An example is the U.S. -Japanese bilateral agreement 

 involving work on the Doublet-Ill fusion device located in San 

 Diego, California. While Japan is benefiting from experimental 

 time at this facility, the United States is benefiting from 

 Japan's financial and technical contributions to the project. 

 Under the agreement, Japan is contributing approximately $70 

 million to the Doublet-Ill project over a 5-year period. The 

 Japanese funding contributions have allowed Doublet-Ill to be 

 upgraded for advanced studies and have allowed an acceleration of 

 its experimental timetable. 



Another similar joint project is taking place at the Rotating 

 Target Neutron Source facility at the Lawrence Livermore National 

 Laboratory. Under this agreement, Japan is contributing approxi- 

 mately $9 million over a 5-year period in exchange for partici- 

 pation in the experimental work directed toward materials research 

 for fusion reactors.
