8th DEMO workshop

Objectives

The main purpose of this eighth workshop in the series is to discuss a subset of key DEMO scientific and technical issues with the aim of defining the facilities and programme activities that can lead to their resolution. The workshop output, to be documented in summary presentations and a report to the IAEA and subsequent journal publication, will be information that could be used by any interested party as input for the planning of activities on the path to a DEMO facility. Opportunities to make greater progress through international collaboration will be identified, ideally leading to coordination or joint work where beneficial. To promote continuity in the workshop series, participants will propose the set of topics for the next workshop(s) in the series, considering the status, expected progress and need for international discussion with regard to the various DEMO issues.
