Fusion is
the energy source of the sun and the stars. On earth, fusion research
is aimed at demonstrating that this energy source can be used to produce
electricity in a safe and environmentally benign way, with abundant
fuel resources, to meet the needs of a growing world population. The
most significant ongoing fusion technology object is ITER.
ITER
is a joint international research and development project that aims
to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion
power. The partners in the project - the ITER Parties - are the European
Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People´s Republic
of China, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and
the USA. ITER will be constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the South
of France. Hungary participate in the project by Association Euratom-HAS.

Association
EURATOM-HAS (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) is a Hungarian
research organization taking part in the controlled thermonuclear
fusion research program of the European Union. Its goal is to contribute
to the realization of energy production by controlled thermonuclear
fusion through research and development activities and to provide
information for the Hungarian public about fusion energy production.
The work of the association is managed by KFKI-RMKI, most of the researchers
work at the Department of Plasma Physics of the institute.

Our brother company, Advanced
Imaging Technologies (AdimTech), is another spin-off enterprise
of HAS. Their mission is to provide imaging solutions to problems
in scientific research and industry. With 20 years of experience in
controlled fusion research and digital imaging Adimtech is capable
of providing complete hardware-software solutions with an insight
into the physical details.
