DESCRIPTION:To book an in-person seat at the seminar this Thursday please 
 use the link below - please note that once the number is reached you will 
 not be able to register but will be able to watch via the Zoom link at the
  bottom of this email.  There will also be a selection of individually wra
 pped sandwich lunches for everyone who is attending in-person.\n\nhttps://
 stokes.cceif.group.cam.ac.uk:1763/seminarreg/162010\n\nFace coverings are 
 expected to be worn on arrival at the BPI Institute AND during the seminar
  and in all communal areas. Face coverings should only be removed once you
  have collected lunch and are back at your seat. Please also note that for
  ventilation windows in the Open Plan Area must remain open at all times.\
 n\n\nFusion is the process that powers our Sun and the stars. The principl
 e is rather simple: fuse two nuclei together and release energy in the pro
 cess. This energy can then be used to power a steam turbine and generate e
 lectricity like in any power plant. The benefits are enormous: a carbon-fr
 ee reaction\, no long-lived radioactive waste\, and a virtually limitless 
 fuel…\n\nWhere is the catch? Where are all the nuclear fusion power plan
 ts?\n \nThe truth is that mastering fusion is extremely difficult. The phy
 sical and technological challenges are numerous: the fuel must be heated u
 p to millions of degrees\, the reactor components must withstand extreme p
 article fluxes and heat loads\, potentially radioactive material must be h
 andled with care\, the very hot fuel must be contained inside the reactor 
 vessel…\n\n\nIn this seminar\, we will humbly try to tackle some of thes
 e challenges by building a fusion reactor component by component. We will 
 have an overview of the existing and future fusion devices around the worl
 d.\n\nTo attend via Zoom:\n\nTime: Nov 4\, 2021 11:15 AM London\n\nJoin Zo
 om Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/93966922478\n\nMeeting ID: 939 6692 2478\n\n
 To attend the meeting\, just open the meeting link in e.g.\, a web browser
 \, which\, if you have not already installed Zoom\, will start a download 
 and the quick installation of a small client will be necessary. If you alr
 eady have Zoom\, you already know what to do - and the link can be entered
  as the message ID.\n\nThe link will be live from 11.15am. By default you 
 will be muted and not emitting video\, so remember to unmute yourself befo
 re asking questions. \n
