§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will compare the contributions so far made to nuclear fusion research by Culham, United Kingdom, Garching and Julich, Federal Republic of Germany, Cadarache, France, MolBelgium, and Ispra, Italy.
§ Mr. BeanThe Atomic Energy Authority, through its contract of association on fusion with Euratom, is in close touch with the work going on in other centres of fusion research in the Community, such as Garching and Julich, and accordingly can compare results and experience on a continuing basis. Of the establishments mentioned, no plasma physics or fusion research is done at Cadarache, Mol or Ispra: the two latter have made small scale contributions to studies on fusion reactor technology.
